About the Book

This antiquarian volume contains Edgar Allen Poe’s 1839 short story, "William Wilson". Inspired by his time spent living in the suburbs of London, Poe’s uncanny story tells the tale of William Wilson and his doppelgänger. The two boys look and move similarly, and when one leaves school, the other does the same. The only difference between the two is their moral code, a disparity that eventually leads to a fatal incident in later life.
