书摘:
CHAPTER 7 Edgar Allan Poe
We are not placing Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) at the bottom of the list of nineteenth-century American romantics because he was the last in the chronological order or the least in importance. It is because he stands alone, representing a category very difficult to pigeonhole. We also want to emphasize Poe's unique position in the history of American literature.
Poe's childhood was a miserable one. He lost both of his parents when still very small, and was taken care of by John Allan, a wealthy merchant of Virginia. The Allans failed to offer the orphan a normal home as father and son enjoyed nothing but an unhappy relationship together. At 17 Poe entered the University of Virginia but did not finish. He went to West Point as a cadet but was dismissed because of misbehavior. A man of literary genius, Poe wrote and worked as editor most of his short life. His first book of poetry appeared in 1827, his second in 1829, to be followed by his third in 1831. Five of his tales came out in 1832. One of his best tales, "MS. Found in a Bottle," won first prize in a short story contest run by a Baltimore newspaper in 1833. In 1838 he published his one full-length novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, and the next year saw in print his Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque. The tale, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841), an ingenious detective story, became the ancestor of the genre, influencing, among others, Conan Doyle. His poem, "The Raven" (1844), was an immediate success and has remained one of his most enduring works. Poe's literary output (some seventy short stories and a dozen poems) is small, but it is immensely interesting and influential as a literary inheritance. We need to mention here that Poe's only longer narrative, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, is a critical failure despite the fact that it has been the subject of one interesting .
