His insightful remarks, useful advice and continuous guidance and support helped me in writing and completing this work. I could not have imagined a better mentor. I would also like to thank my friends, family and partner for supporting me these past months and for enduring my numerous references to Poe and his works – which I made in every possible situation. Thank you for being there and for offering much-needed breaks with talk, coffee, cake and laughter. Last but not least, I am indebted to one more person: Edgar Allan Poe. His amazing – although admittedly sometimes rather macabre – stories have fascinated me for years and have sparked my desire to investigate them more profoundly.

  • The Poetry, Prose, and Essays of Edgar Allan Poe Edgar Allan Poe Is
    Morgan Day Frank [email protected] Buried Alive: The Poetry, Prose, and Essays of Edgar Allan Poe Edgar Allan Poe is best known for his grotesque characters and macabre plot-twists. But though Poe seems capable of offering readers only a very specific form of literary experience -- dark, brooding, atmospheric -- what’s striking about his work when taken as a whole is its variety. Poe was a writer of short stories, a poet, a novelist, an essayist, and an editor. He wrote across a range of genres including detective fiction, political allegory, romance, science fiction, and horror. In his spare time, he staged elaborate newspaper hoaxes. This course sets out to appreciate Poe’s eclectic literary output by reading his best-known works.

Senn 1 MONSTER QUEST: BACKGROUND MYTH AND CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT OF EDGAR ALLAN POE’S “THE CONQUEROR WORM” by FARRAH SENN (Under the direction of Caren Town) ABSTRACT Poe’s short story “Ligeia” and its companion poem “The Conqueror Worm” have garnered little critical attention, though he believed them to be his best works. Considering the archetypal image of the worm, contemporary references, and Poe’s other uses of the symbol, an analysis of the poem and its context within the short story reveals the identity of the “hero” described in the final verse. This paper explores the archetypal nature of the worm by looking at snake myths from across the globe and applying Platonic/Jungian ideas to the image and its function in the poem.

  • Edgar Allan Poe - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Edgar Allan Poe - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Edgar Allan Poe(19 January 1809 - 7 October 1849) Edgar Allen Poe was an American author, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career. <b>Early Life</b> He was born Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 19, 1809, the second child of actress Elizabeth Arnold Hopkins Poe and actor David Poe, Jr. He had an elder brother, William Henry Leonard Poe, and a younger sister, Rosalie Poe. Edgar may have been named after a character in William Shakespeare's King Lear, a play the couple was performing in 1809. His father abandoned their family in 1810, and his mother died a year later from consumption (pulmonary tuberculosis). Poe was then taken into the home of John Allan, a successful Scottish merchant in Richmond, Virginia, who dealt in a variety of goods including tobacco, cloth, wheat, tombstones, and slaves. The Allans served as a foster family and gave him the name "Edgar Allan Poe", though they never formally adopted him. The Allan family had Poe baptized in the Episcopal Church in 1812.
