Edgar Allan Poe's The Narrative of Arthur…
1839 CE
In the summer of 1839, Poe becomes assistant editor of Burton's Gentleman's Magazine.
He publishes numerous articles, stories, and reviews, enhancing his reputation as a trenchant critic, which he had established at the Southern Literary Messenger.
Also in 1839, the collection Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque is published in two volumes, though he makes little money from it and it receives mixed reviews.
