43. Robert Bloch On Poe And Lovecraft Comparison of the two preeminent American authors of supernatural horror and fantasy. http://alangullette.com/lit/hpl/bloch.htm

Poe Lovecraft by Robert Bloch [Reprinted from Ambrosia No. 2 (Aug. 1973)] Comparisons between Edgar Allan Poe and Howard Phillips Lovecraft are, I suppose, inevitable; seemingly, in recent years [writing in 1973] they are also interminable. I shall not, therefore, repeat the usual recital of similarities to be found within their work there will be no mention of black cats, revenants , or Antarctic settings per se But at the same time I have no intention of making a calculated bid for attention by deliberately asserting, as some have also declared, that no real resemblance exists aside from superficial employment of stock characters and themes common to virtually all stories in the genre To me, this is an untenable statement: Lovecraft, like every writer of fantasy and horror fiction subsequent to Poe, was necessarily influenced by the work of his predecessor and to certain extent his work needs must be derivative in some slight sense. Actually, Lovecraft's homage to Poe in his essay Supernatural Horror In Literature , indicates a degree of appreciation and admiration which leaves no doubt as to the profound impression made upon him by the earlier master.

Besides numerous references to secret writings in some of his poems and stories such as The Gold-Bug , he conducted his own "cryptographic challenge" that was published in Alexander's Weekly Messenger beginning in December, 1839. For this series of articles Poe challenged his readers to submit their cryptographs to him, asserting that he would solve them all. For the next six months Poe published solutions to the ciphers submitted by his readers, and shared his views on the nature of cryptography. Poe's association with the Messenger ended in May, 1840, but he took up the subject approximately a year later in an article he wrote for

Edgar Allan Poe Born: January 19, 1809, Boston, Massachusetts, USA Died: October 7, 1849, Baltimore, Maryland, USA American poet, writer, editor and literary critic, one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and the inventor of the detective-fiction genre, best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre. Edgar Allan Poe Biography Edgar Poe was born in Boston on January 19, 1809, the second child of actor David Poe, Jr and actress Elizabeth Poe. His father abandoned their family in 1810 and his mother died in 1811. Then Edgar Poe was taken into the home of John Allan, a successful merchant in Richmond, Virginia. The Allans served as a foster family but never formally adopted edgar Poe, though they gave him the name Edgar Allan Poe. Unable to support himself, in 1827, Poe enlisted in the US Army as a private. He first served at Fort Independence in Boston Harbor for five dollars a month. That same year, he released his first book, a collection of poetry "Tamerlane and Other Poems". The book received virtually no attention. Poe was promoted to "artificer", an enlisted tradesman who prepared shells for artillery. After serving for two years and attaining the rank of Sergeant Major for Artillery, Poe sought to end his five-year enlistment early. He was discharged on April, 1829, and traveled to West Point and matriculated as a cadet on July, 1830. Poe decided to leave West Point on February, 1831.

A bust of the poet looks out on an island of green grass, a two-tiered fountain, and a stone planter overflowing with begonias. It is a typical autumn day in Central Virginia, warm with the sun filtering through a gauzy haze, but cool in the shade of the shrine. I sit on a weathered wrought iron bench and watch sunlight and water play in the fountain. Six-packs of pansies mark the spot where the gardener's fall planting was interrupted.

Your By this time Edgar was no stranger to Aunt Maria and her family. After his honorable discharge from the U.S. Army, April 1829, he had returned to Richmond, thinking of entering West Point. In early May he had journeyed to Washington armed with testimonials from his officers and a letter of introduction from John Allan to Major John Eaton, Secretary of War. Poe applied for appointment to the Military Academy. Then he went to Baltimore to find his relatives. Having discovered his Aunt Maria and her family, he boarded nearby from sometime in May until late December 1829. Indeed, he may have continued living near the Clemm family until his appointment to West Point came through in March 1830. At least he was nearby on 10 December, when he sold a slave belonging to Maria Clemm in the Baltimore slave market. During his residence near the Clemms he was not idle: in December his second volume of verse, Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane, and Minor Poems
