Abstract:
As a member of the literary community of Nassau Street in New York in the 1840s, Poe achieved many lifelong career goals, benefiting from its many opportunities to achieve prominence through new publication, reflecting relative freedom from didactic restraints and greater toleration for experimentation in subject matter, tone, and aesthetic form.
