Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

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. ".

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

Amparo Dávila is considered one of the most prolific Mexican horror writers of the 20th century. Her literary techniques have been compared to some of the most famous horror writers such as Edgar Allan Poe and Franz Kafka. However, her writing is indicative of further social orders present in Mexican culture and other spaces. In this study, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is implemented as an approach to analyze how horror in two short stories is used to reflect Mexican and American social issues. The findings suggest that there is a critique on the social order in societies by transforming these encounters into horrifying experiences.

Abstract : The main objectives of this study are to identify the symbols which are contextually attached to certain words and phrases; to analyze the contextual meaning of the symbols; and to describe the pedagogical implications of the uses of those symbols to the practices of teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). These all are conducted by following Pierce’s triadic theory. The sources of the data of this study are some carefully selected short stories written by Edgar Allan Poe. Descriptive qualitative method is used to collect the data which are then analysed and presented explanatorily. The results of the analysis of the data suggest that there are six symbols which are contextually attached to words and phrases in The Masque of Red Death, three symbols in The Pit and Pendulum, and three symbols in The Black Cat. Those symbols carry important pedagogical implications to the teaching of English as a foreign language. This implies that teachers of English may use these short stories and their symbols to teach English vocabulary in reading section by using flashcard, and by which they can conclude the learning section by presenting the moral values in the short stories.Keywords : Symbols, Semiotic

Abstract:

The present study investigated the frequency and type of metadiscourse markers in short stories as a kind of literary genre and how these markers are used by short story writers to produce persuasive texts. It is a pioneering study, since very few studies in the literature tackled literary genre and no study involved analyzing short stories. The corpus of 88,940 words consisted of 18 short story texts written by the three famous American authors Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain and Raymond Carver. To analyze this corpus, Hyland’s (2005) comprehensive model of metadiscourse was used. Results of the study indicated that metadiscourse markers are employed by short story writers to produce coherent texts and to make their stories persuasive. These results agreed with those of previous studies that involved literary texts indicating that metadiscourse markers are used frequently in such texts. The study findings proved that short stories are considered as persuasive texts not only due to non-linguistic factors, such as transportation, but also due to a linguistic one, namely, the use of metadiscourse markers. This finding is the most significant one, since it refutes the opinion that short stories are persuasive texts solely due to transportation and other similar factors.

Abstract:

Today, when the future of the book is discussed, the main question is whether it has one. Information age transformed ongoing traditional features of a book. It has been foreseen by the critics that printed books, libraries and book stores are doomed to lose their values on the ground of developing technologies. As James Oâ€™Donnel cited from Pulitzer winner author E. Annie Proulx in his paper, â€œNobodyÂ is going to sit down andÂ readÂ a novel on a twitchyÂ little screen.Â Ever." (Nunberg, 1996). Although printed books are less popular in this digital age, there are still readers and book lovers who always get fascinated by the feeling of flipping pages of a book. According to a research done with readers, they would prefer to have a reading experience with a printed book rather than a screen especially if it is a classic literature book.Â Two of the main components ofÂ verbal and visual dimensions of imagination areÂ illustration and literature. Aim of this paper is to try and find a way to maintain the tradition of a printed book and to explore the relation between these principals in one medium through narrative illustrations of Edgar Allan Poe literature. Also the purpose of this paper is finding the similarities of the two disciplines, as both reveal ideas in unexpected and innovative ways in oneâ€™s mind. A selection of his short stories and poems will be illustrated and designed to engage the two areas, literature and illustration to reach readers in a more different way than usual in order to communicate with them more effectively.Keywords: Edgar Allan Poe, book as an object, illustrations, conceptual narrations, book design

Abstract:

Crime fiction originated in the mid-nineteenth century, at a time of great positivistic confidence in the potential of human knowledge. Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories are considered as the beginning of the genre, and his character Auguste Dupin is the first modern literary detective. F. M. Dostoevsky did not write crime novels because the elements of the genre present in his novels participate in the construction of a different kind. However, this paper will try to look in more detail at the key differences between Dostoevsky and the classical rules of crime fiction, on the example of the novel “Crime and Punishment”.A deeper understanding of these differences reveals the limits of the genre, while in Dostoevsky one can recognize one of the early critiques of the fundamental principles and world picture that the genre represents.

This study attempts to investigate thematic progression deployed in The Black Cat short story. The objectives of study are 1) To indicate the types of Thematic Progression in “The Black Cat” short story and 2) to describe the realization of Thematic Progression in “The Black Cat” short story. This study was conducted in descriptive qualitative design. The data were taken from the text of “The Black Cat” short story. The source of the data in this study was The Black Cat and Other Stories book written by Edgar Allan Poe. Systemic Functional Linguistics theory proposed by Halliday (1994) was used to analyzed thematic progression in “The Black Cat” short story regarded with Textual Function. In analyzing the thematic progression, there are three kinds of thematic progression: theme reiteration, the zig-zag pattern and the multiple- rheme pattern. The findings showed that the multiple- rheme pattern is the most dominant realized in 32 times (74%), theme reiteration is the second realized in 7 times (16,3%), and the zig-zag pattern is realized in 4 times (9,3%) and the least dominant pattern in “The Black Cat” short story.

Abstract:

Edgar Allan Poe is the father of horror stories. In his three short stories, Ligiea, the Fall of the house of Usher, The Black Cat, he portrays the image of horror in the form of being buried alive or premature burial, Mental Disorder or Madness or Mentally Ill, and Supernatural. Being buried alive can be seen in The Black Cat as well as in the Fall of the house of Usher. Mentally Ill can be found in the Black Cat and in the Fall of the house of Usher. Meanwhile Supernatural image of horror is reflected in Ligiea and in The Black Cat. Being buried alive is illustrated in the way when The Narrator of the Fall of the House help Roderick Usher entombed his twin sister, while in the Black Cat the Narrator buried his wife in the wall to conceal from the police investigation. Mental Illnesses can be seen in the Black Cat when the Narrator suffers from alcoholic addicted. Roderick Usher the character of The Fall of the house of Usher suffers from not only does he live in fear, but also to have lost all interest in every kind of social contact. Supernatural is portrayed in Ligeia, when the narrator’s wife, Ligiea, dead, she transforms into Lady Rowena, the new wife of the Narrator.

Abstract:

Starting from the 18th century, writers began using Gullah in different stories and plays, and speculated about its origins. Gullah is an American English-based creole spoken along the coast of Georgia, South Carolina and in the Sea Islands. It is also known as Sea Island Creole or Geechee. Several American writers have used this creole in their writings. This paper focuses on the way Edgar Allan Poe used Gullah as a literary dialect, in the short story The Gold-Bug, to render the speech of Jupiter, an old Negro slave. The first part of the paper presents phonological and morphosyntactic features that have been attested in Gullah. The second part of this study analyzes the phonological and morphosyntactic features found in the speech of Jupiter and attempts to demonstrate that Jupiter used the regional superstrate variety of Gullah, as expected from house servants. It will also be shown that Jupiter’s speech also contains many features found in Gullah’s sister variety, African American Vernacular English.

Abstract:

While from the viewpoint of typology it is often stated that the genre of detective fiction originated with the work of Edgar Allan Poe, this statement can be challenged from the standpoint of literary or reception history. Several recent histories of detective fiction emphasize the importance of employing a wider generic view, yet they hardly expand their perspective beyond English literary traditions. This paper examines how the usual, theorized requirement for detective fiction concerning the work’s exclusive focus on the crime committed and its detection was not characteristic of nineteenth-century detective stories written in Central Europe. Even though the detective story pattern is recognizable in Mór Jókai’s short story, “A három királyok csillaga” [‘The Star of the Magi’], it does not dominate the entire depiction, but rather represents one strand woven into a tragic love story as well as the history of national resistance, aspects bearing equal significance in this very sophisticated work.

Abstract:

Lexical cohesion has been a serious issue as it is one of the important features in a text. Every writer must consider kinds of lexical devices in writing a text and so do the translator. The main problem in translating the lexical cohesion devices is the different structure between two languages. One device can be applied in one language but not in other language. This journal analyzed the translation of reiteration as part of lexical cohesion devices appeared in the short stories The Black Cat and The Cask of Amontillado written by American writer, Edgar Allan Poe. The short stories were translated by two Indonesian translators namely Anton Kurnia and Shinta Dewi. This research is conducted to share the practice of translating literature works especially a short story which contains a lot of lexical cohesion devices and to give contribution to the development of translation as part of linguistic studies. In doing the research, qualitative and quantitative method is applied including observation, interviews, or document reviews. In the source text, it was found 120 of lexical cohesion devices in the short story ”The Cask of Amontillado” and 187 lexical cohesion devices in the short story “The Black Cat”. The results obtained from this research were that Anton Kurnia translated 73% of lexical cohesion devices in the source language into the target language. Meanwhile, Shinta Dewi translated 94% of lexical cohesion devices in the source text to the target text.

Abstract:

The aim of the following contribution is to analyze the intertextual relation between Paul Auster’s "Ghosts" (1986) and Edgar Allan Poe short story William Wilson (1839). This article studies different aspects that Paul Auster’s novel has as a reinterpretation and rewriting of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story. Auster creates an intertextual relation with Poe’s narration in order to introduce certain aspects of his fiction such as the issues of identity, the concept of the double and the construction of Auster’s theory of writing. In this sense, this proposal presents an interpretation of Auster’s "Ghosts" as an intertextual and postmodern reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story.

In Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories symbolism is the main figure of speech of his stories. The main aim of this study is recognizing the use of symbolism in “Hop – Frog” (1850), “The Pit and the Pendulum” (1842) and “The Cask of Amontillado” (1846), and decoding the symbols and various meanings they signify according to Herman Northrop Frye’s theory. This paper tries to explore the way symbolism is used in Edgar Allan Poe’s selected short stories, the writer’s motives and amount of his success.

Abstract In a previously unpublished essay, Elma Mary Gove Letchworth (1832–1921) details her visits to the Fordham, New York, cottage of American poet, critic, and short story writer Edgar Allan Poe (1809–49). Her account provides a young girl's impressions of the famous author and insights into Poe's domestic life, humor, and fondness for children. The present paper examines Letchworth's essay and compares it with the reminiscences of other acquaintances of Poe, including a similar article written by her mother, Mary Gove Nichols (1810–84), in order to evaluate the accuracy of Letchworth's account.

Abstract:

Industrialization revolutionizes human life and engenders anthropocentrism. Edgar Allan Poe ruminates on the repercussions of anthropocentrism in his stories and speculates about a posthumanist world. “The Imp of the Perverse” challenges the prevailing standard of reason and compels us to discover the underlying world that brings current situations into existence and legitimizes perverse phenomena. The three examples of the perverse, namely, circumlocution, procrastination, and abyss obsession, outline the latent coordinates of human identity: species, time, and space. The fourth instance recapitulates the three coordinates and features underdeveloped aspects. The abrupt ending of the story (“but where?”) plunges readers into textual instability. “MS. Found in a Bottle” continues the journey of the suspended plunge: anthropocentric departure, disoriented temporality, multidimensional space. The juxtaposition of these two stories illuminates Poe’s reflections on anthropocentric hubris and posthumanist speculation.

In 1897, Jules Verne’s novel An antarctic mystery was published both in periodical form and as a complete book. It is a continuation of Edgar Allan Poe’s story The narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket (1838). In this article, we will use the plots of both novels to show the different images of science and technology presented by the two authors. We address both Verne’s and Poe’s approach to science, as conveyed through their fictional stories. We also discuss how Verne’s scientific descriptions are much more extensive than Poe’s, a testament to Verne’s rational and learned character, as opposed to Poe’s more fantastic and imaginative approach to science.

Full text

Abstract:

Poe’s tales, though set in decaying, gloomy and silent places, are particularly sonorous. While several sound patterns are prototypical of the gothic (gusts of wind, shutting doors, absolute silence…), others denote Poe’s interest in uncanny sound perception and illusion. Acuteness of the senses is taken to an extreme, and the sounds of death take on a new dimension. Hearing the dead as well as the living, narrators are perpetually on the brink of insanity and draw their readers into a world rhythmed by sounding clocks, hissing pendulums and unstoppable heartbeats. Binary and ternary rhythms alternate, and it is ultimately in their composition that the tales show Poe’s mastery of rhythmic patterns and of their impact on the reading experience. Self-interruptions, refrains and other rhythmic strategies give the tales a dizzying quality, keeping the reader in a perpetual state of suspense.

But when Robert Browning told her in his first letter that he loved her poems, these were the ones he meant. The ballads are almost the only works of hers that he mentions in their correspondence, and he mentions them often. Gracious Lady Geraldine, bold and selfimmolating Duchess May, the lady disguised as a page who dies defending her husband from the Saracens - such heroines charmed a large and diverse company of Victorian admirers, including Mary Russell Mitford, Edgar Allan Poe, Harriet Martineau, Thomas Carlyle, and most of Elizabeth Barrett's friends and reviewers, in the years before her marriage when her reputation was made.

Abstract This study argues that Nāzik al-Malāʾikah’s poetics—as indicated in her “Introduction” to her collection Shaẓāyā wa-ramād and her book Qaḍāyā al-shiʿr al-muʿāṣir—is in conversation with the famous American poet, critic, and short story writer Edgar Allan Poe’s poetics. This affinity has not been properly noted by critics, as their discussions have been limited to issues of form, content, or borrowings from Poe’s poems. This article argues that al-Malāʾikah’s elaborations on Poe are more profound than hitherto assumed since they articulate a different kind of formal poetics altogether. The chief characteristics of this poetics can be identified as sound/rhythm, concision, refrain (or repetition, with variation). While these innovative instances are foundational in her literary criticism, her poetry also conveys other venues of indebtedness and conversation.

This essay re-examines Henry James’s complex relationship with Edgar Allan Poe by focusing on the echoes of one of Poe’s most celebrated tales, “The Tell-Tale Heart” (1843), that later reverberate in James’s “The Aspern Papers” (1888). It highlights the similarities, both in mindset and behavior, between the two stories’ devious and deranged first-person narrators, whose actions result in the death of a fellow human being. It further discusses the narrators’ fear and refusal of their own mortality, which finds expression in their hostility, and barely contained revulsion against a man (in “The Tell-Tale Heart”) and a woman (in “The Aspern Papers”), whose principal defining traits are old age and physical decay.

Abstract:

Matthew A. Taylor, ““Edgar Allan Poe's (Meta)physics: A Pre-History of the Post-Human”” (pp. 193––221) Edgar Allan Poe partakes of a social imaginary pursuing a single, unified theory of the physical and metaphysical. In this essay I examine how Poe, rather than following the predominantly utopian, utilitarian, and self-affirming teleologies of many such contemporary discourses (mesmerism, spiritualism, etc.), pictures instead the unsettling implications for human ontology consequent upon the idea that persons are less autonomous or sovereign entities than mutable effects of external, inhuman forces. Routing my discussion through a critical reading of Martin Heidegger's Being and Time, I argue that Poe's cosmological poem-essay Eureka and much of his short fiction——including ““Ligeia”” and ““The Fall of the House of Usher””——present a model of the universe and of the natural world that actively erodes the distinctions separating humanity from its physical environment, indeed that finally refuses the differentiation of subject and object altogether. My essay provides a brief genealogy for this macabre literalization of contemporary theories of the universe in Poe's writing and explores the implications that it has for a critical tradition (psychoanalytic, deconstructive, ideological) largely invested in the selves rather than the surroundings of Poe's tales.

Full text

Abstract:

The relation between animal maltreatment and interpersonal violence has long been of interest to developmental psychologists, psychiatrists, law enforcement officials, criminologists, and others from related disciplines who concluded that the motivation behind these atrocities is a deep-seated need for power and control that stems from inadequacy. The culprit begins by practising on animals, before graduating to humans, mainly women. In 1843, Edgar Allan Poe saw the potential significance of cruelty to animals as a precursor to future violence against humans and brought it to life through his short story "The Black Cat." The narrator begins his reign of terror by practising on cats (women stand-ins) until he summons enough courage to murder the real source of his misery—his spouse. The story is artistically coherent if understood in terms of cruelty to animals as an unfavourable prognostic sign characteristic of those who will kill. Until now, animal cruelty in Poe’s tale received relatively little attention from literary critics. To date, no inquiry has put forward a theory regarding the abuse of animals and its relation to homicide. Hence, this study proposes to look into this disturbing phenomenon and to complement the Poe scholarship.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Villiers de l’Isle-Adam’s “A Torture by Hope” occupied a unique place in the imagination of late nineteenth and early twentieth century literary critics curious about the conte cruel and Edgar Allan Poe’s alleged influence on this French author. In such comparisons Poe’s “The Pit and the Pendulum” was frequently named a literary antecedent to Villier’s “A Torture by Hope,” and though both stories relate horrifying details of protagonists tortured by Spanish inquisitors, a formal analysis of them reveals distinct differences in the respective aesthetic and moral effects, namely the ironic reversals in plot that were distinctive of Villiers’ conte cruel. This essay contextualizes the early twentieth-century debate among literary scholars before offering a comparison of the two stories ending with a review of contemporary scholarship on the conte cruel and its historical significance to horror fiction.

Abstract:

The essay returns Edgar Allan Poe's "The Purloined Letter" to The Gift: A Christmas, New Year, and Birthday Present, 1845, the gift book in which it was originally published, in order to explore its relationship to its apparently arbitrary frame. Correspondences among Poe's tale and the ones that surround it in The Gift invite us to read "The Purloined Letter" in relation to the social economy of the gift book and against the background of what could be called its generic plot. While the mainstream stories reemphasize commercial strategy based on commodified seduction, I contend that "The Purloined Letter" provides us with a more complex model that both fulfills the reader's expectations and critiques the underlying ideology of "The Gift." I therefore show how Poe "purloins" the gift book's typical gender economy and how the homosocial eroticism of his tale bears on its famous twentieth-century readings.

Abstract:

This essay examines the production of Global English through literary texts by examining three adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Gold Bug” in the 1930s by competing figures in the vocabulary control movement—Harold Palmer, Michael West, and C. K. Ogden—leaders in the formation of the field of applied linguistics. The first part of the essay explains the colonial origins of the vocabulary word list and its ascendant value in the interwar period for the new discipline of applied linguistics, and as part of the competition for English language textbooks. This leads to an analysis of these three simplifications of Poe’s story that demonstrates how the language politics in Poe’s story provides a structure through which to express a nascent Global English ideology regarding race, vernacular, and auxiliary languages.

The short story was chosen because it was guessed that the narrator underwent mental disorder; he did violents acts till he committed murder. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative. The results showed that ‘gothic’ elements found in the story are horror, mystery, and romantic. In addition, the main character gets mental disorder called “schizophrenia”. The main character seems to have mental disorder called ‘schizophrenia’, categorized as “catatonic”. The narrator experiences the four stages of halluciations and delusions: conforting, condemning, controlling, and conquering which deal with “delusion”, and “hallucination”.

Full text

Abstract:

The aim of the article is to re-examine the literary legacy of Edgar Allan Poe from the perspective of the third decade of the 21st century. The starting point is a brief discussion of its complicated reception in the USA and Great Britain as well as its strikingly vivid presence in the contemporary culture. However, the main argument centres on how some of the fiction written by Poe reveals a striking convergence with the present-day environmental concerns engendered by an imminent man-wrought ecological catastrophe, and with the insights offered by zoocriticism. First, I analyse the selected stories by Poe from the perspective of ecocriticism. I wish to argue that at least some portion of his fiction could be included in “American environmentalist discourse”. I undertake to demonstrate that The Conversation of Eiros and Charmion and The Colloquy of Monos and Una carry a clear ecological message, The Domain of Arnheim features the artistic elevation of the natural world, while The Island of the Fay reveals the prefigurings of the modern Gaia Hypothesis. I also take a look at the stories Metzengerstein, The Black Cat, and The Murders in the Rue Morgue within the framework offered by zoocriticism, which studies the dynamics of the relation between Homo sapiens and other species. In this context I briefly refer to The Raven as well. The presented considerations may help understand why Poe’s fiction appeals to us so much now, in the age of Anthropocene, and at the same time try to counterbalance the image of Poe enshrined in the popular imagination – as the author of dark, terrifying, escapist stories, who has little to say about the world we live in.

With the aim of investigating the lexical cohesive devices, a short story from the American literature; namely, “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe, is taken as the data of study. The study adopts the framework of Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) by which two major categories of lexical cohesion; reiteration and collocation, are examined. To make the investigation possible, a full explanation of the lexical cohesive devices in both English and Arabic is presented to have a vivid image of the differences and similarities between them and to discuss their possible effect on translation. The results obtained reveal that lexical cohesion in Poe’s short story is founded on repetition, synonymy and collocation but the inadequate command of these devices by the translator leads to the distortion of translation

Abstract:

The paper addresses the issue of stylistic devices and textual means of creating an atmosphere of horror in the emotive prose of Edgar Poe and Mykola Hohol. The annotated paper is acute as little scholarly attention has been paid to the linguistic matter of presenting the category of horror by both writers while the literary perspective of academic studies of Е.Poe’s and M.Hohol’s writings has evidenced a number of researches, comparative ones including. The category of horror acquires a number of poetic manifestations with both authors: within the set of characters, space and atmosphere designing etc. Edgar Poe as well as Mykola Hohol resorts to various stylistic devices to render the nuances of the horrific atmosphere. On having conducted the research, the author arrives at the conclusion that epithets and metaphors bear the greatest significance and quantity in the narratives of both men of letters since the stories contain abundance of descriptive passages. They include the description of interior and exterior designs of the dwellings, landscapes etc. The mentioned devices are also attributed with symbolic connotation assigning additional meanings and implications alluding to national philosophies and imagery. The discordance in presenting the mood of horror is observed in the way E. Poe and M Hohol evolve the development of the atmosphere as well as in the use of foreshadowing device and color tropes.

Abstract:

Abstract In 1969, Robert D. Jacobs broke new ground with Poe: Journalist and Critic, the first truly inclusive study of the critical writings that Edgar Allan Poe produced throughout his career. According to Jacobs, those texts could not be understood apart from the journalistic world in which Poe wrote them and without reference to the principles on which he relied while evaluating literary works. Those laws derived from Common Sense philosophy, and of particular importance to Poe, Jacobs argued, was the notion that three faculties—the reason, the moral sense, and the taste—directed mental life. Responsive to pleasure, the taste allowed a person to appreciate art, so Poe’s insistence on unity was tied to the belief that all the elements within in a work of literature would please if they had a single, focused effect on the reader. Enlightenment-era psychology was, in short, central to Poe’s critical practice, the development of which Jacobs mapped throughout Poe: Journalist and Critic—a work that has become a classic in the field. Attending to Poe’s work as a writer for magazines, Jacobs not only stimulated scholarly interest in Poe’s critical reviews but also encouraged the examination of his writings as products of nineteenth-century print culture. Seminal in Poe studies, Poe: Journalist and Critic remains useful for anyone who wants to know Poe as he was in life rather than legend.
