The enigma canon is a collection of works by Edgar Allan Poe that are considered to be his most significant and influential.
The term "enigma canon" was first used by critic Arthur Hobson Quinn in 1941 to describe Poe's "tales of ratiocination."
The works in the enigma canon include "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt," and "The Purloined Letter."
These stories feature the detective C. Auguste Dupin, who uses his analytical skills to solve seemingly impossible crimes.
