About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox volunteers bring you 10 recordings of The Sleeper by Edgar Allan Poe. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for March 6, 2106. Read in English by Algy Pug; Newgatenovelist; Greg Giordano; Ian King; James Lapine; Maria Kasper; smiley1; Phil Schempf; Peter Yearsley and Ryan Finch. Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. Widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and American literature as a whole, he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. Poe is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career. ( Wikipedia)
