Copyright

just as a precaution i wanted to check on the copyright status of the complete works of Edgar allan Poe incase i decide to use one work rather then taking sections from different ones and while the author died over 100 years ago i wasnt sure if there was a way for it to still be kept in copyright. However from the sources ive found most seem to state:

'PD-icon.svg Works by this author published before January 1, 1923 are in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. Translations or editions published later may be copyrighted. Posthumous works may be copyrighted based on how long they have been published in certain countries and areas'

or similarly state that the works being so old are in the public domain and are free for me to use as i will without being sued (yay)
