Full textAbstract:
The influence of Edgar Allan Poe on North American culture and literature is still a subject of debate in contemporary literary theory. However, Poe’s creative legacy regarding the writings of Miriam Allen Deford remains neglected by the literary critics. Deford’s fiction explored a set of literary genres, such as biography, science fiction, crime and detective short stories. Taking these premises as a point of departure, this article aims to identify similarities between “A Death in the Family” and some of Poe’s works. Drawing on studies by J. T. Irwin, James M. Hutchisson and others, the objective of this paper is to analyze passages from Deford’s tale in comparison with the poetry and fictional prose of Poe. The analysis suggests that Deford’s horror short story “A Death in the Family,” published in 1961, was mostly inspired by Poe’s gothic tales, detective stories, and poems.

Taro Hirai (1894-1965), a Poe enthusiast who appeared as a detective in the late Taisho era with "The Two-Sen Copper Coin" (Shin Seinen, 1923.4) and took the pen name "Edogawa Rampo" after Edgar Allan Poe, first discovered Poe in the fall of 1914. It was a year after the outbreak of the First World War. At the time, Rampo was a second-year student (21 years old) in the Department of Political Science and Economics in the Faculty of Waseda University. He was busy with his professional studies and had little time for general education, but he still found time to read literary books in his spare time. During this period, Rampo wrote in his "Chronological Table" that he "read Poe and Doyle for the first time and discovered the delights of short detective stories. " His discovery of Poe and Conan Doyle was a milestone in Rampo's reading career, and he was "first fascinated by Poe, and three or four years later, I was astonished to come across Dostoevsky. ".

Full textAbstract:
This article analyzes Edgar A. Poe’s short stories “The Black Cat”, “Hop-Frog”, “Four Beasts in One — The Homo-Cameleopard”, “Morning on the Wissahiccon”. The aim of the study is to determine their animalistic codes — artistic images and motifs related to the life of animals, human-animal relations, “animal” symbolism, etc. Having applied historical-literary, psychoanalytical, and comparative methods of research, these short stories are identified as variants of the author’s modeling of an animalistic text. The subject of the study is the specifics of Edgar A. Po’s interpretation of images and motifs that are directly or indirectly related to artistic animalistic. The novelty of the research is determined by the following tasks, solved for the first time in its course: considering the correlation of animalistic codes with the ideological pathos of short stories; allocating the characteristic features of the author’s models of artistic animalistic and the arsenal of their poetics; provides a comparison of the psychoanalytical and metaphorical versions of Edgar A. Po’s interpretation of animalistic codes in the context of his idiostyle. As a result of the study, it was found that the writer’s usage of the animal theme, in the broadest sense, is the result of his view on relevant natural and philosophical ideas, which resonate in his prose with the manifestation of various animalistic codes. Two types of novels of the author’s animalistic text were distinguished. The first one, psychoanalytical, provides a realistic and concrete image of an animal perceived through the prism of the narrator’s consciousness and the tradition of his mystical interpretation, turning into an image-symbol as a result (“The Black Cat”, “Morning on the Wissahiccon”). The parable-like text of the second one, philosophical-metaphorical, despite the absence of an animal image emphasizes the problem of a “human beast” (“Hop-Frog”, “Four Beasts in One — The Homo-Cameleopard”). Symbolization of animalistic codes is common for both types. The article generalizes the important role of animalistic codes in the modeling of a psychological portrait of a contemporary man by Edgar A. Po and in the genre creation of diffuse varieties of a psychological-analytic novel.

Full textAbstract:
Wort-case scenarios depicted in literary works may function to mourn and warn people about the real situation, such as the spread of COVID-19 that has altered worldwide life drastically. This study offers a reflection on the current pandemic time through a close reading of selected American classic literary works. The imagination of fear, isolation, and mask-wearing in Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories is resonant with the new expressions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Three short stories by Poe, i.e., ‘The Masque of the Red Death’, ‘The Cask of Amontillado’, and ‘The Sphinx’ are chosen for examination using the thematic analysis method. Repeated reading of the short stories shows that parallels can be drawn between these stories and today’s phenomenon about anxiety, social restriction, and health protocols. What can be implied from the analysis are as follows: (1) Fear of the disease results in the characters’ added distress, (2) The characters’ aberrant behaviour as to overprotect themselves is exacerbated by the dreadful situation, and (3) Poe’s obsession with dread and death to shock the readers can be historically traced through his own inner predicaments, ill-health, and the 1832 Cholera contagion. In conclusion, the findings resonate with the COVID-19 epidemic’s upshots.

Full textAbstract:
The object of this research project is to carry out a literary analysis of the contrast and similarities between the treatment of female portraits presented in some of Edgar Allan Poe’s and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short stories, and further to illustrate the effect this treatment has on the whole thematic and socio-cultural articulation of these narratives. For this purpose the following short stories have been chosen: by Edgar Allan Poe; “Morella” (1835), “Eleonora” (1841), and “Ligeia” (1838), by Nathaniel Hawthorne; “Mrs Bullfrog” (1837) “The Wedding Knell” (1836), and “The Birthmark” (1843). Each of the selected stories has been a contribution to better understand the socio-cultural situation women during the time they were composed.

Full textAbstract:
Esta tese apresenta a continuação de um estudo da obra de Edgar Allan Poe iniciado no Mestrado, que focou no primeiro conto de detetive de Poe, The Murders in the Rue Morgue. Na presente etapa, o objetivo foi investigar de que maneira a obra de Poe figura uma experiência sócio-histórica específica, estudando desta vez seus outros dois contos de detetive, The Mystery of Marie Rogêt e The Purloined Letter. Ao ampliar o foco da pesquisa para compreender melhor o lugar desses contos na obra do escritor, o estudo levou à conclusão de que os três contos de detetive de Poe, publicados entre 1841 e 1844, desempenham um papel central na figuração da sua experiência histórica, representando um momento importante de síntese de suas reflexões. Por isso, esta tese organiza-se de modo a dar esta posição de destaque aos seus contos de detetive, mas apresenta, no primeiro e no quarto capítulos, comentários acerca de uma seleção de outras de suas obras, literárias ou não, que representam momentos importantes do percurso de suas reflexões e de sua tomada de posição diante das contradições próprias de seu momento histórico. As principais dessas contradições dizem respeito ao funcionamento do mercado editorial dos Estados Unidos no século XIX, e incluem a produção de literatura popular e de jornalismo sensacionalista, a relação com o público leitor e as relações de produção predominantes no mencionado mercado. Poe desenvolve um posicionamento crítico cada vez mais consequente diante desse contexto, desenhando diagnósticos a respeito da situação do escritor e da literatura diante da mercadorização da atividade artística e definindo posturas propositivas, especialmente por meio de seu reaproveitamento criativo dos materiais disponíveis, assim apontando para possibilidades expressivas mais desafiadoras e relevantes do que as que ele via se multiplicando na época. Além disso, são importantes outras atitudes de Poe que demonstraram sua insatisfação com as relações de produção da época, tais como a escrita de diversos artigos sobre o tema e, da maior relevância, sua tentativa (embora fracassada) de lançar uma revista literária controlada por artistas. Tudo isso faz da obra de Edgar Allan Poe uma grande contribuição para a literatura.<br>This dissertation presents the continuation of a study of Edgar Allan Poes work started in the Masters research whose object was the first detective story written by Poe, published in 1841, The Murders in the Rue Morgue. In the present study, the objective is to investigate how Poes work represents a social-historical experience, focusing this time on his two other detective stories, The Mystery of Marie Rogêt and The Purloined Letter. When enlarging the scope of the research in order to better understand the role of these stories in the writers work, the study led to the conclusion that his three detective stories, published between 1841 and 1844, in fact play a central role in the figuration of his historical experience, representing an important moment of synthesis in his reflections. For this reason, this dissertation is organized so as to put forth his detective stories, while also presenting, in the first and forth chapters, comments regarding a selection of other works, literary or not, representing important moments of the development of his reflections and his positioning before the contradictions of his historical moment. The most relevant of these contradictions concern the operation of the editorial market of the United States in the 19th century, and include the production of sensational popular literature, the sensational journalism, the relation with the reading public and the relations of production predominating in the market. The writer develops an increasingly consequent critical positioning before such context, designing diagnoses about the writers and literatures situations in a moment of commodification of the artistic activity and defining an active attitude, thus indicating expressive possibilities which were more challenging and relevant than the ones he saw multiplying in his times. Besides, there are other attitudes in which Poe demonstrated his dissatisfaction with the relations of production, suc as his articles about the theme and, very relevant, his attempt (although he failed) of starting a literary magazine controlled by artists. This makes Edgar Allan Poes work a huge contribution for literature.

Rollason, Christopher Richard. "The construction of the subject in the short fiction of Edgar Allan Poe." Thesis, University of York, 1987. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/113/.
Full textAbstract:
This study is primarily concerned with the diverse processes of constitution and deconstitution of subjectivity at work in the writing of Edgar Allan Poe. The analysis is largely confined to the short fiction, although some reference is made to Poe's other work; twentyone tales are examined, in greater or lesser detail, with the aid of various theoretical perspectives - sociological, structuralist and, above all, psychoanalytic. The aim is to present a new reading of Poe's texts which rejects traditional "unity"-based interpretations. The thesis privileges the psychological dimension, but in textual, not biographical terms; it stresses the tales' often undervalued element of modernity as well as their receptiveness to emergent processes and discourses. The psychological dimensions analysed include: the explicit presentation of mental splitting ('William Wilson') and institutionalised madness ('The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether'); the signification of alienation ('The Man of the Crowd') and self-destruction ('The Imp of the Perverse', 'The Black Cat', 'The Tell-Tale Heart') as constitutive of the subject at a determinate historical moment; the simultaneous construction and subversion of mythical signifiers of an illusory "full" subject, both metonyms (the detective, the mesmerist) and metaphors (the artwork, the interior); the symbolic emergence from repression of active female desire, perceived as threatening in the male unconscious ('The Oval Portrait', 'Ligeia'); and the disintegration of the subject under the pressure of its own repressions ('The Fall of the House of Usher'). Particular stress is laid throughout on the textual undermining of the dividing-lines between "normal" and "abnormal", "sane" and "insane", "respectable" and "criminal". It is concluded that Poe's work constitutes a map of the vicissitudes and contradictions of subjectivity in patriarchal culture; from the study of these texts, the "I" emerges as formed out of a massive repression, and as therefore constantly liable to fragmentation and rupture.

Full textAbstract:
Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciada en Lengua y Literatura Hispánica<br>In this work I will study a particular urban subject present in every society, I will investigate the urban subject of the criminal illustrated in an Edgar Allan Poe’s selection of seven tales. In this case I have decided to rename the criminal as “pariah”. I use this term because I consider that it fits perfectly when defining a person that is “undesirable” and “rejected” by society. The choice of this term is also supported by David Reynolds’s work Beneath the American Renaissance in which he refers to the “asocial” subjects of the urban city as a “pariah”. I have lent this term because I consider that it is suitable to describe the subject being studied. It is also relevant to add that Charles Baudelaire refers to Poe as a “—drunkard pauper, oppressed pariah” (58). The use of the term pariah to refer to Edgar Allan Poe’s protagonists is just a coincidence with Baudelaire’s use of the term.

Full textAbstract:
This essay explores a paradoxical imbalance between male and female within three of Poe's short fiction works: Berenice, Ligeia, and The Fall of the House of Usher. Specifically, it analyzes both mental and physical agency, identifying dominant and submissive moments for both male and female characters in both categories, with neither gender being healthy while the other is, and neither unhealthy while the other is. The characters that make up the female side of this paradox are all women who are buried alive and who gain postmortem agency. These resurrected female characters consistently take both mental and physical power away from their male counterparts before a culmination and climax in their power roles when they reveal their continued life after death to male narrators. At this time, a resolution in the struggle between the genders occurs with female characters ending in positions of both physical and mental power. This tension between male and female seeks resolution while simultaneously revealing Poe’s obsession and fascination with its imbalance.

Full textAbstract:
Edgar Allan Poe is the ultimate insider’s outsider, writes Stephen Berry. He lived at once inside and outside the South, capitalism, the literary establishment, his own marriage, his own life, his own mind. He was at once a southern writer and a writer who brushed past the South. He wrote what is arguably the most famous poem in American history—a poem that would go on to name a major-league football team—a poem for which he and his heirs were paid exactly nine dollars. Dying in penury, his obituary remains the most infamous in American letters: “EDGAR ALLAN POE [has] died in Baltimore. … Many will be startled, but few will be grieved by the news.” Even so, Poe got everything he wanted; he's immortal. As well as any writer ever, Poe captures the rage we feel at our very smallness before Death, at the performing-monkey way we go about our mortal work. Poe is the patron saint of every ‘jingle man,’ every hypocrite, every man not quite good enough for the glitterati, every dying soul who ever threw an infantile tantrum at the stupidity of a life both too miserable and too short.

Full textAbstract:
Part III examines the new importance that Baudelaire attaches, following the trial of Les Fleurs du Mal, to the creative imagination as an instrument of resistance and alternative ‘government’. This chapter analyses his three essays on the life and work of Edgar Allan Poe, in which Baudelaire sees Poe as exemplifying the power of the imagination both to subvert normative thinking and to confront the destructive effects of melancholy by constructing new worlds. Baudelaire finds in Poe an image—and self-portrait—of the poet as outcast and embodiment of protest, a thinker probing the mysteries of nature in search of new explanatory laws: in short, a writer engaged in what Baudelaire calls ‘conjecturisme’. For Poe, as for Baudelaire’s alternative poet-lawgiver, beauty is a form of justice, and the public value of poetry lies not in overt didacticism but in the carefully crafted articulation of an original moral and intellectual vision.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter starts by considering Re-Animator as an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s short story “Herbert West - Re-Animator”. From there, it examines why Lovecraft has proven popular for horror filmmakers and why many have often fallen short in capturing the writer’s cosmic horror. After exploring it as an adaptation, this chapter makes the case that Re-Animator marks the beginning of a new wave of Lovecraft adaptations, including several directed by Stuart Gordon that are each analysed: From Beyond, Castle Freak, Dagon, Dreams in the Witch House. The chapter argues that Gordon’s ongoing interest in Lovecraft recalls an earlier cycle of Edgar Allan Poe adaptations directed by Roger Corman, and likewise frames him as something of an auteur working within the horror B-movie tradition.

One can achieve somewhat of an understanding of how Sherlock Holmes came to exist by looking at the contributions of three people: Conan Doyle himself, Edgar Allan Poe, and Conan Doyle’s mentor in medical school, Dr. Joseph Bell. First we shall look at Conan Doyle, focusing on those aspects of his life that led to his writing of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Arthur Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh. His father, Charles Altamont Doyle, was English and his mother, Mary Foley, was Irish. His father had a drinking problem and was consequently less a factor in Conan Doyle’s upbringing than was his mother. Charles would eventually end up in a lunatic asylum (Stashower 1999, 24). Mary Doyle instilled in her son a love of reading (Symons 1979, 37; Miller 2008, 25) that would later lead him to conceive of Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle’s extensive reading had a great influence on the Sherlock Holmes stories (Edwards 1993). He was raised a Catholic and attended Jesuit schools at Hodder (1868–1870) and Stonyhurst (1870–1875), which he found to be quite harsh. Compassion and warmth were less favored than “the threat of corporal punishment and ritual humiliation” (Coren 1995, 15). Next he spent a year at Stella Matutina, a Jesuit college in Feldkirch, Austria (Miller 2008, 40). As Conan Doyle’s alcoholic father had little income, wealthy uncles paid for this education. By the end of his Catholic schooling, he is said to have rejected Christianity (Stashower 1999, 49). At the less strict Feldkirch school, his drift away from religion turned toward reason and science (Booth 1997, 60). At this time he also read the writings of Edgar Allan Poe, including his detective stories. So, although Sherlockians debate the “birthplace” of Holmes, a claim can be made that Holmes was conceived in Austria. In 1876, Conan Doyle began his medical studies at the highly respected University of Edinburgh. These years also played a large role in shaping the Holmes stories. One obvious factor was his continued exposure to science.

The first Americans to identify as artistic bohemians gathered at a Manhattan beer cellar in the 1850s. They counted Walt Whitman as one of their number, and considered Edgar Allan Poe a bohemian avant la letter. But New York’s first bohemians were not displaced Parisians living in a section of the Latin Quarter magically transplanted to the United States. Rather, bohemianism in the United States has roots in Charleston, South Carolina, the hometown of both Ada Clare (the “Queen of Bohemia” and host of a weekly literary salon) and Edward Howland (the financial backer for the bohemians’ literary weekly, The New York Saturday Press), as well as in the setting of Poe’s “The Gold-Bug” (1843), which influenced the first literary representation of American bohemianism in Fitz-James O’Brien’s short story “The Bohemian” (1855). Charleston’s cotton plantations provided Howland and Clare with the money to fund the institutions that were essential for bohemianism to flourish: the periodical and the salon. With Poe at the imaginative center of American bohemia and Clare and Howland at its financial center, U.S. bohemianism emerges as a complex network of people, money, and ideas circulating between the North and the South as well as New York and Paris.
