In Borges?s Poe , Emron Esplin focuses on the second author in this trio and argues that Borges, through a sustained and complex literary relationship with Poe?s works, served as the primary catalyst that changed Poe?s image throughout Spanish America from a poet-prophet to a timeless fiction writer.
