| | Edgar Allan Poe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Poe's poetry was translated into Russian by the Symbolist poet Konstantin Bal'mont and enjoyed great popularity there in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, influencing artists such as Nabokov, who makes several references to Poe's work in his most famous novel, Lolita. | | | Poe had a keen interest in the field of cryptography, as exemplified in his short story "The Gold-Bug". | | | Poe influenced the Swedish poet and author Viktor Rydberg, who translated a considerable amount of Poe's work into Swedish. |

| | Poe was a pioneer in both genres, and together they constitute, in bulk, half of his short tales. | | | Poe's several tales of balloon and sea travel approach the borderline of science fiction, dealing plausibly with scenes that were fantastic, or beyond the bounds of everyday reality. | | | Poe's mysteries include not only "The Gold-Bug" and the three Dupin tales, but also, "Thou Art The Man" and "The Oblong Box". |

| | Poe called the new genre the "tale of ratiocination." The first story of this type, Murders in the Rue Morgue, featured an apparently inexplicable crime and a step-by-step analysis by the rational Frenchman Dupin, as narrated by his admiring and baffled sidekick. | | | Their brilliant and unstable son grew up to be a romantic poet, a master of macabre tales, the originator of the modern detective story, and an acute literary critic, editor, and journalist. | | | From this formula, which proved to be amenable to endless variations, arose the widely popular genre of the mystery novel and detective story. |

| | Poe is famous for his ability to delve into the inner psyche of his characters. | | | Although murders in fiction existed before Poe, his preoccupation with the ingenious solution of the crime established in his tales of ratiocination (the process of exact thinking) changed the emphasis from the acts to getting the facts. | | | However, what Poe is probably most known for are his tales of horror. |

| | Indeed it was a venue that further inspired his growing melancholy and his frustration regarding the recent acrid arguments with his foster father. | | | While the exact nature of the friendship is not known, Poe would later dedicate his Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque to Colonel Drayton. | | | While Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque was not written during his time at Fort Moultrie, it is probable that he did write most of the pieces for Al Aaraaf while at Sullivan's Island. |

Poe and The Raven and Other Poems. | | | Meanwhile, Poe published a second book of poetry in 1829: Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane and Minor Poems. |

| | Poe also wrote romantic poetry, black comedy, science fiction, broad farce, and is considered by many to be the father of the detective story. | | | During the six years (1838-1844) that he lived in Philadelphia, he published some of his most famous tales, including The Fall of the House of Usher, "The Pit and the Pendulum", and "The Masque of the Red Death". | | | However, his contribution to American literature far exceeds the dark and macabre. |

| | These famous verses were behind a powerful wave of enthusiasm for Poe that arose among the leading writers of Europe during his own lifetime, spread thereafter around the world, and was sustained through the "discovery" of existential "human condition" themes in his short stories generations later. | | | Today, Poe is known, read, and appreciated on the basis of a comparatively narrow body of work, roughly a dozen tales and half as many poems. | | | He is duly credited with creating the detective story genre and with transforming the Gothic mystery tale of the Romantic Period into the modern horror or murder stories centered in the outlying regions of human mind and experience. |

| | There is a mystery that pervades his poems and stories, and a mastery of language that puts him in a class all his own. | | | The father of the modern mystery and king of the macabre, Poe has created a world of dark yet fascinating literature. | | | The haunting beauty and wonder of poems such as "The Raven" or "Annabelle Lee" are irresistable to me. Some people I know have (perhaps understandably so) an aversion to Poe's literature, though I find it strangely refreshing and very exciting. |

| | His ungovernable temper and high spirit led him into disputes with his friends, hence he was not enabled to hold any one position for a great length of time. | | | Now wholly thrown upon his own resources, he took up literature as a profession, but in this he failed to gain a living. | | | Poe has been severely censured by many writers for his wild and stormy life, but we notice that Ingram and some other prominent authors claim that he has been willfully slandered and that many of the charges brought against him are not true. |
