Description:Excerpt from The Fire-Fiend: And Other Poems A few - and but a few - words of explanation seem appropriate here, with reference to the poem which gives title to this volume. The "Fire-Fiend" was written some six years ago, in consequence of a literary discussion wherein it was asserted, that the marked originality of style, both as to conception and expression, in the poems of the late Edgar Allen Poe, rendered a successful imitation difficult even to impossibility. The author was challenged to produce a poem, in the manner of "The Raven," which should be accepted by the general critic as a genuine composition of Mr. Poe's, and the "Fire-Fiend" was the result. This poem was printed as "from an unpublished MS. of the late Edgar A. Poe," and the hoax proved sufficiently successful to deceive a number of critics in this country, and also in England where it was afterward republished (by Mr. Macready, the tragedian), in the London star, as an undoubted production of its soi-disant author.
