By ReadBasil Rathbone American master of terror Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston in 1809 to professional actors who died when Poe was a child. He attended the University of Virginia, where he was a distinguished student and developed his lifelong taste for liquor. Afterward, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and rose to the rank of sergeant major. He was expelled from West Point after a year, blighting his hopes of becoming a career officer. Poe started publishing his poetry and stories in the early 1830s and pursued a career in journalism to ensure some sort of financial security. In 1843, he published several works, including "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Gold Bug," which won a $100 prize in a contest sponsored by the Philadelphia Dollar Newspaper. The story made Poe famous with the fiction-reading public. His poem "The Raven," which appeared in the New York Evening Mirror in January 1845, was a critical and commercial success. "The Fall of the House Of Usher" (1839) and "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841) are arguably two of his best short stories. But both Poe's and his wife Virginia's poor health kept the pair in financial and emotional distress. Poe died in 1849.

It will be remembered, that, in the usual version of the tales, a certain monarch, having good cause to be jealous of his queen, not only puts her to death, but makes a vow, by his beard and the prophet, to espouse each night the most beautiful maiden in his dominions, and the next morning to deliver her up to the executioner. Having fulfilled this vow for many years to the letter, and with a religious punctuality and method that conferred great credit [page 132:] upon him as a man of devout feelings and excellent sense, he was interrupted one afternoon (no doubt at his prayers) by a visit from his grand vizier, to whose daughter, it appears, there had occurred an idea. Her name was Scheherazade, and her idea was, that she would either redeem the land from the depopulating tax upon its beauty, or perish, after the approved fashion of all heroines, in the attempt.

87. The Fall Of The House Of Usher Presentation notes, background information and themes. http://www.watershedonline.ca/literature/Poe/pousher.html

The Fall of the House of Usher by Arthur Patterson The following are presentation notes from December, 1996, when the Winnipeg Folio Club met to discuss this story. Setting the Stage In this part of the session, we attempt to set the mood and establish the main theme of the evening. Usually a Poe poem or a musical selection will be made. This is an extension of Poe's principle of Unity of Effect, and creates a receptivity in the hearers for what Poe has to say. Biographic Context It is helpful to connect the tale to the life setting of Edgar Allen Poe to see what was happening in his life at the time he wrote the story. A cholera epidemic, Poe's misanthropic temperament, Virginia's tuberculosis, a banking crisisall of these historical facts weave their way into Poe's stories. Any possible source that may have motivated Poe's writing may be important for us to consider. Criticism of Tale What is the story about? According to Poe's aesthetic principle of unity of effect, description and details are not unimportant or merely mood creating but a part and parcel of the meaning of the tale. How is the story told? Any literary devices that pop out at you like irony or satire? Are there categories of tales within the whole of Poe's works that this particular tale seems to fit into? What world view informs the story? Is there a sense of providence? Why is Poe so morbid - what is he trying to accomplish? etc. What

88. The Gold Bug--Introduction Essay by Arthur Paul Patterson. http://www.watershedonline.ca/literature/Poe/goldbug/pogoldbug.html

The Gold Bug by Arthur Paul Patterson Edgar Allan Poe's The Gold Bug emphasizes the chasm between our perceptions and reality. Poe's ghoulish tone is not merely horror for the "gross out", as Stephen King calls it. The gothic elements in Poe serve the higher purpose of transforming our consciousness. One of the tell-tale signs of a Poe story is that truth is not easily accessible. When we confront reality it does not conform to our expectations. A metamorphosis, in the normal way of seeing things, takes place when we learn to question not only our general perceptions of subject but our own cherished convictions. Poe's horror supplies a tool for transformation. At first it may seem cynical, or cruel to laugh at the dim-wittedness of ourselves and others. Poe's use of irony and humor is intended to create a disinterested or objective stance toward subjectively experienced events. His tales are like horrific versions of Zen koans, whose role is to merely to shake us loose from habitual ruts in our thinking. This strategy was rarely understood or appreciated by Poe's publishers. Poe often asked the reader/publisher to assume a context in which the tales would be read. It is significant that a reading group in some ways fits the bill for Poe's hypothetical gathering of readers.

T HE F ACTS IN THE C ASE OF M. V ALDEMAR by E dgar A llan P oe From THE WORKS OF EDGAR ALLAN POE, Vol. II It is now rendered necessary that I give the facts in articulo mortis In looking around me for some subject by whose means I might test these particulars, I was brought to think of my friend, M. Ernest Valdemar, the well-known compiler of the "Bibliotheca Forensica," and author (under the nom de plume clairvoyance , I could accomplish with him nothing to be relied upon. I always attributed my failure at these points to the disordered state of his health. For some months previous to my becoming acquainted with him, his physicians had declared him in a confirmed phthisis. It was his custom, indeed, to speak calmly of his approaching dissolution, as of a matter neither to be avoided nor regretted. When the ideas to which I have alluded first occurred to me, it was of course very natural that I should think of M. Valdemar. I knew the steady philosophy of the man too well to apprehend any scruples from him ; and he had no relatives in America who would be likely to interfere. I spoke to him frankly upon the subject; and to my surprise, his interest seemed vividly excited. I say to my surprise; for, although he had always yielded his person freely to my experiments, he had never before given me any tokens of sympathy with what I did. His disease was of that character which would admit of exact calculation in respect to the epoch of of its termination in death; and it was finally arranged between us that he would send for me about twenty-four hours before the period announced by his physicians as that of his decease.

Last Update: Feb. 27, 2010 Navigation: Main Menu The Poetic Principle The Works of the Late Edgar Allan Poe [page 1:] THE POETIC PRINCIPLE. I N [page 2:] In regard to the Iliad, we have, if not positive proof, at least very good reason for believing it intended as a series of lyrics; but, granting the epic intention, I can say only that the work is based in an imperfect sense of art. The modern epic is, of the supposititious ancient model, but an inconsiderate and blindfold imitation. But the day of these artistic anomalies is over. If, at any time, any very long poem were popular in reality, which I doubt, it is at least clear that no very long poem will ever be popular again. That the extent of a poetical work is, ceteris paribus, size, bulk , so far as a volume is concerned, which has so continuously elicited admiration from these saturnine pamphlets! A mountain, to be sure, by the mere sentiment of physical magnitude which it conveys, does this yet

Literarias Creadores Escritores Relatos ... Cuentos Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) Comencemos esta nueva sección dedicada al relato, con la degustación de la cuentística de uno de los mayores autores norteamericanos del XIX: el bostoniano Edgar Allan Poe. La obra de Poe se compone de una novela larga (el Gordon Pym ), de poesía, ensayo, crítica literaria y sobre todo de esos cuentos apasionados por los que su nombre nos resulta más familiar. Entre estos figuran joyas del horror y del fantástico como pueden ser (junto a muchos otros) El caso del señor Valdemar, Ligeia, Manuscrito hallado en una botella, El descenso al Maelstrom, El Pozo y el Péndulo o El Gato Negro , y que lo convierten en uno de los puntales de la literatura norteamericana de la primera mitad del XIX y de la cuentística de todos los tiempos. Fue también precursor y creador de géneros como el de la novela de detectives o policíaco, con la invención de su Chevalier Auguste C. Dupin, primer detective analítico de la historia. Poe redactó sus cuentos entre 1833 y el mismo año de su muerte (1849) en que vieron la luz sus ultimas piezas, como

EDGAR ALLAN POE EL GATO NEGRO EL POZO Y EL PENDULO LA MASCARA DE LA MUERTE ROJA EL RETRATO OVAL ... LA ESFINGE RESEÑA BIOGRÁFICA Con la posterior muerte de John Allan, el poeta pierde toda esperanza de que su trabajo literario se realizara en condiciones económicas favorables. En 1832 se va a vivir con una tía y una prima a Baltimore, en donde estableció sus primeros contactos para publicar su trabajo. Luego se casó con su prima, Virginia Clemm -doce años menor que él-, con la cual vivió gran parte de su vida e influyó notoriamente en varios de los escritos del poeta. Poe radicó en varias ciudades, Nueva York , Filadelfia, Baltimore, en donde trabajó en revistas como crítico, labor que le costó muchas enemistades por la clase de crítica que realizaba; destrozaba a sus contemporáneos. La característica principal de todos estos empleos radicaba en que recibía un sueldo mísero, pero a cambio le daban la oportunidad de publicar sus relatos y alcanzar la fama. Tristemente, sólo la fama, porque la mayor parte del tiempo vivió en la más absoluta miseria, con algunos lapsos de relativa calma. Al final de su difícil vida, Poe estaba hundido absolutamente en la desgracia; con la muerte de Virginia (1947), su vida se vino abajo, mantuvo relaciones con Sarah Helen Whitman y con Elmira, su novia de juventud, pero ya todo estaba resuelto, nunca se volvería a levantar.

Tenendo sempre d’occhio l’originalità (perché tradisce se stesso chi si azzarda a privarsi di una fonte di interesse tanto ovvia e tanto facile a raggiungersi), io mi dico, in primo luogo: “Degli innumerevoli effetti, o impressioni, di cui è suscettibile il cuore, o l’intelletto, o più genericamente la mente, quale mi conviene scegliere in questo caso?”. Una volta scelto un effetto che sia anzitutto inedito, e poi intenso, rifletto se possa meglio indurlo un episodio o un registro; se sia meglio introdurre episodi correnti e un registro, invece, singolare, o il contrario, o cercare una singolarità tanto dell’episodio quanto del registro. A questo punto mi guardo intorno, o meglio mi guardo dentro, cercando le combinazioni di episodi e di registro che meglio possano aiutarmi a costruire quell’effetto. histrio letterario.
