This is The Bells and Other Poems by American writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) with illustrations by French-British illustrator Edmund Dulac (1882-1953). It was published by Hodder and Stoughton internationally circa 1912. Poe is best known for his Gothic short fiction and poetry while Dulac was known mainly for his illustrations for books like Jane Eyre, The Tempest, various fairy tales and more—many through an association with Hodder and Stoughton.
The cover features a pattern featuring bells and flourishes stamped in gold that matches the endpapers. The illustrations are dark and ethereal, sometimes to the point of creepiness, and really bring out the gothic elements of Poe’s poems.











Poe would probably be horrified to see how we turned his darkest toughts into a fun event.
