This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,3, RWTH Aachen University, language: English, abstract: “Themes of ruin and apocalypse intensify in several poems of the 1840’s” and as one of the today most approved writers of that time, Edgar Allan Poe’s poetry is certainly worth being investigated in this regard. In this paper I want to investigate the apocalyptic vision in Edgar Allan Poe’s poems “The Conqueror Worm”, published in 1843, and “The City in the Sea”, in its final version from the year 1845. I also have to mention that I will examine “The Conqueror Worm” as a poem on its own and not in connection with the tale Ligeia, into which the poem was later (1845) established. I have also decided to work with the five-stanza version of “The City in the Sea”, opposed to a widely spread opinion that the poem should only contain four stanzas . For an analysis concerned with this topic, it has to be made clear what I understand when I use the term apocalyptic. Therefore the paper starts with an attempt to define the term as good as possible. Afterwards I am going to give a thorough analysis of “The Conqueror Worm” first, and then I will analyze “The City in the Sea”. The analyses are going to include interpretations according to the apocalyptic vision in the poems. At the end of the paper I will give a short summary together with the most important outcomes of the analyses.

Download or read book The Conversation of Eiros and Charmion written by Edgar Allan Poe and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Halley's Comet had just swung by and the infamous Baptist preacher William Miller was foretelling the end of the world. Edgar Allan Poe was quick to capitalise on the atmosphere of fear and curiosity that spread across America after this event. In 'The Conversation of Eiros and Charmion', a pioneer of the sci-fi genre, Poe has Eiros (who died when the world ended) talking about the apocalypse with Charmion, who died 10 years earlier. Eiros tells how a comet was spotted - an event that was followed by excitement, complacency, uncertainty, exhilaration and a final, awful reckoning. If you like this short story, you may also enjoy John Wyndham's 'The Day of the Triffids', Mary Shelley's 'The Last Man', and 'The Stand' by Stephen King. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, author, and literary critic. Despite a brief life, he was celebrated for his poetry, short stories, and tales of the supernatural. He is also regarded as the inventor of the detective genre and a contributor to the emergence of science fiction, dark romanticism, and weird fiction. In 1827, Poe joined the US Army under an assumed name and had his first collection, 'Tamerlane and Other Poems,' published anonymously. He worked as a literary critic and moved around America, writing as he went while his works gradually built an audience. His most famous works include ́The Raven ́ (1945), ́The Black Cat ́ (1943), and ́The Gold-Bug ́ (1843).

Download or read book The Science Fiction of Edgar Allan Poe written by Harold Beaver and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2006-07-27 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the greatest of all horror writers, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) also composed pioneering tales that seized upon the scientific developments of an era marked by staggering change. In this collection of sixteen stories, he explores such wide-ranging contemporary themes as galvanism, time travel and resurrection of the dead. 'The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfall' relates a man's balloon journey to the moon with a combination of scientific precision and astonishing fantasy. Elsewhere, the boundaries between horror and science are elegantly blurred in stories such as 'The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar', while the great essay 'Eureka' outlines Poe's own interpretation of the universe. Powerfully influential on later authors including Jules Verne, these works are essential reading for anyone wishing to trace the genealogy of science fiction, or to understand the complexity of Poe's own creative vision
Download or read book Tombs Of The Sea written by Edgar Allan Poe and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TOMBS OF THE SEA contains the one novella, three short stories and one fragment which comprise Edgar Allan Poe's "oceanic” tales, conjuring vistas of dark horror and elemental violence. "The Narrative Of Arthur Gordon Pym" was Poe's only extended work, the diary of a strange voyage into the arctic wastes, marked by scenes of butchery, cannibalism, and hallucinatory apparitions; "Descent Into The Maelström” and "Ms Found In A Bottle” are stark tales of obsession in which the sea is cast as a demonic abyss of vortical annihilation; and in "The Oblong Box”, the ocean again opens its maw to claim both the living and the dead. TOMBS OF THE SEA also includes "The Lighthouse”, of which Poe left only a surviving fragment at his death, and "The Bloodhound Story", a rare piece of Poe arcana from his days as an anonymous copy-writer. TOMBS OF THE SEA is illustrated by Harry Clarke, and includes a foreword on Poe by the author H P Lovecraft.

This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Descent into the Maelström Edgar Allan Poe I looked dizzily, and beheld a wide expanse of ocean, whose waters wore so inky a hue as to bring at once to my mind the Nubian geographer's account of the Mare Tenebrarum. A panorama more deplorably desolate no human imagination can conceive. To the right and left, as far as the eye could reach, there lay outstretched, like ramparts of the world, lines of horridly black and beetling cliff, whose character of gloom was but the more forcibly illustrated by the surf which reared high up against it its white and ghastly crest, howling and shrieking for ever. Just opposite the promontory upon whose apex we were placed, and at a distance of some five or six miles out at sea, there was visible a small, bleak-looking island; or, more properly, its position was discernible through the wilderness of surge in which it was enveloped. About two miles nearer the land, arose another of smaller size, hideously craggy and barren, and encompassed at various intervals by a cluster of dark rocks.
