Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald, course: North American Short Stories, language: English, abstract: Edgar Allan Poe's name is related to the American short story like none other in the history of American Literature. While Washington Irving is commonly seen as the creator of the short story, Edgar Allan Poe is regarded as the first to have realised its potential and the first to have created an aesthetical theory of the short story. This theory though, especially Poe's depiction of the skilful artist and his/her perfect way of creating art, gave rise to many heated discussions, which strongly shaped the image of Poe. Thus he is likely to be seen as the cold-blooded, emotionally unaffected author who creates art on demand, contriving compositions with an unparalleled precision and brilliancy. Many critics therefore rather based their criticism on the life and the person of Edgar Allan Poe, instead of his contributions to the development of literature. This work strictly wants to avoid to draw any populist parallels between the author Poe and the person Poe. The first part of this term paper therefore deals with Poe's literary theory as such. I will focus mainly on Poe's major concerns of effect and the genres of poetry and prose. Furthermore I will pose the question, what is the actual matter of Poe's theory, is it a profound concept or just a vague and hasty response to Emerson's "The Poet", with the mere purpose of provoking his contemporaries and thus to get attention? Since the formulation of a theory always raises the question of its applicability, especially on the part of its originator, the second part will scrutinise to what extent Edgar Allan Poe stuck to his own principles. Is there a discrepancy between theory and practice in the work of Edgar Allan Poe, and if so how can this be explained? His short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" will provide th

Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Didaktik für das Fach Englisch - Literatur, Werke, Note: 2,0, Universität zu Köln (Englisches Seminar), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This paper provides research into the constituents of Edgar Allan Poe’s concept of beauty by taking into account a selection of his critical essays, among them “The Philosophy of Composition” and “The Poetic Principle.” The final goal is to filter out the essence of Poe’s idea of beauty. Furthermore, the author will argue that a coherent concept of beauty exists in the works of Poe. This paper will also consider the works of Poe’s critics who are concerned with his relations to the American press and his dependence on romantic philosophers. After the establishment of a coherent concept of beauty, the author applies it to Poe’s poem “To Helen."
Download or read book Poe written by Peter Ackroyd and published by Nan A. Talese. This book was released on 2009-01-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gothic, mysterious, theatrical, fatally flawed, and dazzling, the life of Edgar Allan Poe, one of America’s greatest and most versatile writers, is the ideal subject for Peter Ackroyd. Poe wrote lyrical poetry and macabre psychological melodramas; invented the first fictional detective; and produced pioneering works of science fiction and fantasy. His innovative style, images, and themes had a tremendous impact on European romanticism, symbolism, and surrealism, and continue to influence writers today. In this essential addition to his canon of acclaimed biographies, Peter Ackroyd explores Poe’s literary accomplishments and legacy against the background of his erratic, dramatic, and sometimes sordid life. Ackroyd chronicles Poe’s difficult childhood, his bumpy academic and military careers, and his complex relationships with women, including his marriage to his thirteen-year-old cousin. He describes Poe’s much-written-about problems with gambling and alcohol with sympathy and insight, showing their connections to Poe’s childhood and the trials, as well as the triumphs, of his adult life. Ackroyd’s thoughtful, perceptive examinations of some of Poe’s most famous works shed new light on these classics and on the troubled and brilliant genius who created them.

Book excerpt: The author of the famed American poem 'The Raven', Edgar Allan Poe didn't just write poems. He was also a literary critic of them. 'The Rationale of Verse' is an essay on the writing of poetic verses. Poe argues for verses to be written in a systematic manner and style, in respect to the arrangement of the words and syllables. Amongst his various suggestions on how to go about this, he opines that, "one-tenth of it, possibly, may be called ethical; nine-tenths, however, appertain to mathematics." He also makes a claim of being among the few critics, in his time, to study the aspect of systematic verse composition for a modern language such as English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe) was born in Boston Massachusetts on January 19th 1809 and was orphaned at an early age. Taken in by the Allan family his education was cut short by lack of money and he went to the military academy, West Point where he failed to become an officer. His early literary works were poetic but he quickly turned to prose. He worked for several magazines and journals until in January 1845 The Raven was published and became an instant classic. Thereafter followed the works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and macabre. In this volume we bring you his essay on poetry, less well known than his stories, but fascinating none the less and, as an addition, helps to round out Edgar Allan Poe the Artist as well as a remarkable insight to his thoughts. Poe died at the early age of 40 in 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, short story writer, playwright, editor, critic, essayist and one of the leaders of the American Romantic Movement. He was born to a Scots-Irish family in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of actress Elizabeth Arnold Hopkins Poe and actor David Poe, Jr. The family travelled to England in 1815, and Edgar sailed with them. He attended the Grammar School in Irvine, Scotland for a short period in 1815, before rejoining the family in London in 1816. He studied at a boarding school in Chelsea until the summer of 1817. Best known for his tales of the macabre and mystery, Poe was one of the early American practitioners of the short story and a progenitor of detective fiction and crime fiction. He is also credited with contributing to the emergent science fiction genre. His works have had a broad influence on American and world literature (sometimes even despite those who tried to resist it), and even on the art world beyond literature. The scope of his influence on art is evident when one sees the many and diverse artists who were directly and profoundly influenced by him.
