  • 19Th Century American Authors, Literature, Informational Texts, and Visual Representation
    19th Century American Authors, Literature, Informational Texts, and Visual Representation (Correlating to Cottonwood Middle School’s 8th Grade Language Arts textbook: The Elements of Literature) Lisa Ashley Cottonwood Middle School Cottonwood, AZ NEH Summer Institute 2009 Introduction and Rationale Having participated in this year’s Picturing Early America: People, Places, and Events 1770-1870, a four-week-long summer institute on interpreting and teaching early American art, my goal for the upcoming 2009-2010 school year is to incorporate visual references to EACH of my 8th grade Language Arts literature lessons. Being a Title One, low income school, our classroom materials are limited. We do have, however, classroom sets of the Holt textbook, Elements of Literature. The text contains fictional prose from the American authors Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain, and Nathanial Hawthorne. Additionally, the text also contains a nonfiction piece on Harriet Tubman and The Underground Railroad. Goals I have begun to build files with 19th century images of authors and illustrations of their works. These files will be available for any other teachers who would like to use them and who teach similar content in their English/Language Arts classrooms. This Power Point is just the beginning presentation of my files. National Endowment for the Humanities “Picturing America” Images Because our district was awarded a set of these images, I hope to enrich our current Language Arts curriculum by creating lessons connecting the images to as many reading and writing activities as possible. This endeavor to couple texts with images will be an ongoing, continuous process for me this year: I will need to find images of prints, paintings, and illustrations that are suitable and engaging for my students and pair them with activities that will extend and enrich our already existing texts.

  • Fame After Life: the Mystery of Edgar Allan Poe's Death
    http://dx.doi.org/10.7592/FEJF2016.65.mollegaard FAME AFTER LIFE: THE MYSTERY OF EDGAR ALLAN POE’S DEATH Kirsten Møllegaard Abstract: Although contemporary legends often deal with the trials and anx- ieties of everyday life, a considerable body of folk narratives deals with famous historical people and the mysteries, rumors, and anecdotes ascribed to them. American author Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was a trend-setting author of gothic horror and dark mysteries. His short, difficult life and strange death have fueled both academic and folkloristic narratives. Where the academic narratives often analyze his fiction biographically as reflections of his life such as his -im poverishment, alcoholism, and frustrated ambition, the folk narratives typically focus on his death at the age of forty. By straddling literary and popular fame, Poe-lore occupies a dynamic Spielraum in contemporary folklore because his haunted life and mysterious death, similar to the literary conventions for the gothic in literature, collapse ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture. The folklore of famous people is intimately – perhaps even mysteriously – tied to the perception of individual identity and the social experience of city crowds, strangers, and alienation. In Poe’s case, the intertwining of his fiction with his real-life struggles has made Poe scholarship the most biographically centered of any American writer, past or present, and produced Poe not only as a towering legend in American literature, but also as a legendary figure in the popular imagination. Keywords: biography, contemporary legends, death, Edgar Allan Poe, fame, gothic literature, Poe Toaster http://www.folklore.ee/folklore/vol65/mollegaard.pdf Kirsten Møllegaard The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague.

  • World Literature According to Wikipedia: Introduction to a Dbpedia-Based Framework
    World Literature According to Wikipedia: Introduction to a DBpedia-Based Framework Christoph Hube,1 Frank Fischer,2 Robert J¨aschke,1,3 Gerhard Lauer,4 Mads Rosendahl Thomsen5 1 L3S Research Center, Hannover, Germany 2 National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia 3 University of Sheffield, United Kingdom 4 G¨ottingenCentre for Digital Humanities, Germany 5 Aarhus University, Denmark Among the manifold takes on world literature, it is our goal to contribute to the discussion from a digital point of view by analyzing the representa- tion of world literature in Wikipedia with its millions of articles in hundreds of languages. As a preliminary, we introduce and compare three different approaches to identify writers on Wikipedia using data from DBpedia, a community project with the goal of extracting and providing structured in- formation from Wikipedia. Equipped with our basic set of writers, we analyze how they are represented throughout the 15 biggest Wikipedia language ver- sions. We combine intrinsic measures (mostly examining the connectedness of articles) with extrinsic ones (analyzing how often articles are frequented by readers) and develop methods to evaluate our results. The better part of our findings seems to convey a rather conservative, old-fashioned version of world literature, but a version derived from reproducible facts revealing an implicit literary canon based on the editing and reading behavior of millions of peo- ple. While still having to solve some known issues, the introduced methods arXiv:1701.00991v1 [cs.IR] 4 Jan 2017 will help us build an observatory of world literature to further investigate its representativeness and biases.

  • Biography of Edgar Allan Poe (Adapted)
    Name ________________________________ Date ___________ Period __________ English - Literature Biography of Edgar Allan Poe (Adapted) Poe's Childhood Edgar Poe was born in Boston on January 19, 1809. His parents were David and Elizabeth Poe. David was born in Baltimore on July 18, 1784. Elizabeth Arnold came to the U.S. from England in 1796 and married David Poe after her first husband died in 1805. They had three children, Henry, Edgar, and Rosalie. Elizabeth Poe died in 1811 when Edgar was two years old. She had separated from her husband and had taken her three kids with her. Henry went to live with his grandparents while Edgar was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. John Allan and Rosalie was taken in by another family. John Allan was a successful merchant, so Poe grew up in good surroundings and went to good schools. When Poe was six, he went to school in England for five years. He learned Latin and French, as well as math and history. He later returned to school in America and continued his studies. Edgar Allan Poe went to the University of Virginia in 1826. He was 17. Even though John Allan had plenty of money, he only gave Poe about a third of what he needed. Although Poe had done well in Latin and French, he started to drink heavily and quickly became in debt. He had to quit school less than a year later. Poe in the Army Edgar Allan Poe had no money, no job skills, and had been shunned by John Allan. Therefore, Poe went to Boston and joined the U.S.

  • EDGAR ALLAN POE by James Russell Lowell the Situation Of
    EDGAR ALLAN POE By James Russell Lowell THE situation of American literature is anomalous. It has no centre, or, if it have, it is like that of the sphere of Hermes. It is, divided into many systems, each revolving round its several suns, and often presenting to the rest only the faint glimmer of a milk-and-water way. Our capital city, unlike London or Paris, is not a great central heart from which life and vigor radiate to the extremities, but resembles more an isolated umbilicus stuck down as near a's may be to the centre of the land, and seeming rather to tell a legend of former usefulness than to serve any present need. Boston, New York, Philadelphia, each has its literature almost more distinct than those of the different dialects of Germany; and the Young Queen of the West has also one of her own, of which some articulate rumor barely has reached us dwellers by the Atlantic. Perhaps there is no task more difficult than the just criticism of contemporary literature. It is even more grateful to give praise where it is needed than where it is deserved, and friendship so often seduces the iron stylus of justice into a vague flourish, that she writes what seems rather like an epitaph than a criticism. Yet if praise be given 14 as an alms, we could not drop so poisonous a one into any man's hat. The critic's ink may suffer equally from too large an infusion of nutgalls or of sugar. But it is easier to be generous than to be just, and we might readily put faith in that fabulous direction to the hiding place of truth, did we judge from the amount of water which we usually find mixed with it.

  • The Major Themes of William Cullen Bryant's Poetry
    379 /14,8f? THE MAJOR THEMES OF WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT'S POETRY THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Jesse Earl Todd, B. A., M. S. Denton, Texas December, 1989 Todd, Jesse Earl., The Major Themes of William Cullen Bryant's Poetry. Master of Arts (English), December, 1989, 103 pp., works cited, 58 titles. This thesis explores the major themes of William Cullen Bryant's poetry. Chapter II focuses on Bryant's poetic theory and secondary criticism of his theory. Chapter III addresses Bryant's religious beliefs, including death and immortality of the soul, and shows how these beliefs are illustrated by his poetry. A discussion of the American Indian is the subject of Chapter IV, concentrating on Bryant's use of the Indian as a Romantic ideal as well as his more realistic treatment of the Indian in The New York Evening Post. Chapter V, the keystone chapter, discusses Bryant's scientific knowledge and poetic use of natural phenomena. Bryant's religious beliefs and his belief in nature as a teacher are also covered in this chapter. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Chapter I. INTRODUCTION... ......... II.

You may also see a larger version of any image by clicking on it at right. The Garret The About the According to most authorities, Poe lived in the garret, or attic, of the Garret Garret house on Amity Street. We don’t have any direct evidence of what kind of furniture Poe had in his room. However, scholars of the Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore have recreated what the room probably looked like from records of other homes at the time. Though all the Poe house furniture has been long lost, the items in the room date to the 1830’s and are typical examples of what a poor family could have afforded. Roll over parts of the floor plan below to explore Poe’s bedroom at 3 Amity Street.

  • The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe 1 Once Upon a Midnight Dreary, While I Pondered, Weak and Weary, 2 Over Many a Quaint and Curi
    1 The Raven By Edgar Allan Poe 2 Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, 3 Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— 4 While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, 5 As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. 6 “’Tis some visiter,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door— 7 Only this and nothing more.” 8 9 Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December; 10 And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. 11 Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow 12 From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore— 13 For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore— 14 Nameless here for evermore. 15 16 And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain 17 Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; 18 So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating 19 “’Tis some visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door— 20 Some late visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door;— 21 This it is and nothing more.” 22 23 Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, 24 “Sir,” said I, “or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; 25 But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, 26 And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, 27 That I scarce was sure I heard you”—here I opened wide the door;— 28 Darkness there and nothing more.

Poe's publishing career is discussed, as is the critical reception of his stories and poems of horror and mystery. The relation of his tales to the U.S. politics and economics of his time is also discussed, along with Poe's financial and mental instability. Full Text Word Count: 6040 ISSN: 0028-792X Accession Number: 37839147 Database: Academic Search Premier Section: A CRITIC AT LARGE THE HUMBUG Edgar Allan Poe and the economy of horror Edgar Allan Poe once wrote an essay called "The Philosophy of Composition," to explain why he wrote "The Raven" backward. The poem tells the story of a man who, "once upon a midnight dreary," while mourning his dead love, Lenore, answers a tapping at his chamber door, to find "darkness there and nothing more." He peers into the darkness, "dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before," and meets a silence broken only by his whispered word, "Lenore?" He closes the door. The tapping starts again. He flings open his shutter and, "with many a flirt and flutter," in flies a raven, "grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore." The bird speaks just one word: "Nevermore." That word is the poem's last, but it's where Poe began.

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. To all of you: thank you. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1: Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 6 1.
