Edgar Allan Poe

Roderick and Madeline are siblings in "The Fall of the House of Usher." They are twins who share a deep bond, both physically and emotionally. Their shared lineage is depicted as dark and troubled, reflecting the decay of the family and the house itself.

In "Annabel Lee," Poe uses repetition to emphasize the strong emotions and deep connection between the speaker and Annabel Lee. The repeated phrases, like "kingdom by the sea" and "the angels, not half so happy in heaven," create a sense of longing and loss, underscoring the speaker's grief over the death of his beloved. This repetition serves to highlight the eternal love that transcends death in the poem.

"In a mad world, only the mad people are sane"

Yes, he did. Poe wrote many short stories, one novel length story, editorials, essays, critiques and even a textbook. Poe also published lectures he gave at various times. Poe left a wealth of material over and above the short stories and poems for which he is most famous.

Edgar Allan Poe is often considered a pioneer of the short story genre, although he is not the sole creator of it. Onomatopoeia, which is the use of words that imitate the sound they describe, can be an element in short stories, but it is not exclusive to Poe's work. Poe's contributions to the short story genre lie in his innovative writing style, themes, and storytelling techniques.

Many credit Edgar Allan Poe as the father of the modern mystery genre due to his influential detective stories such as "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" and "The Purloined Letter." Poe's emphasis on logic, reasoning, and suspense laid the foundation for future mystery writers to explore complex puzzles and the art of deduction.

He married Virginia when she was 13. And they were married 11 years. By today's standard (that being that 17-18 is legal age of consent) in order to believe that he was not a pedophile, you'd have to believe that he was married to her for 4-5 years without having sex with her.

Apart from a brief sojourn in the US Army ( where he served two years and rose to the rank of sergeant)- later a USMA appointment- Poe was a man of the pen all of his adult life. He wrote short stories, poetry and literary criticism, all in longhand as typewriters had not yet been invented. They did not come out until after the Civil War.

Edgar Allan Poe's first published work was a poetry collection called "Tamerlane and Other Poems," which was released in 1827 when he was just 18 years old. However, Poe's first widely recognized piece of work is considered to be the short story "Berenice," published in 1835.

Edgar Allan Poe's first love was poetry. He is best known for his poetry and is considered one of the foremost writers in the American Romantic movement. His poem "The Raven" is one of his most famous works.

In 1841, Edgar Allan Poe published "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," which is widely considered to be the first modern detective story. It introduced the fictional detective C. Auguste Dupin and laid the foundation for the detective fiction genre.

Edgar Allan Poe is known for his macabre and gothic stories and poetry, Ralph Waldo Emerson is known for his essays on individualism and transcendentalism, and Mark Twain is known for his witty and satirical writing, especially in his novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."

Prince Prospero is a character in Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Masque of the Red Death."

"Romance" by Edgar Allan Poe is about a man who mourns the death of his beloved, Eleonora. He reflects on their love and the fleeting nature of life, ultimately finding solace in the idea that they will be reunited in the afterlife.

Sarah Helen Whitman was an important figure in American literature as a poet, critic, and essayist during the 19th century. She is best known for her association with Edgar Allan Poe, having been both his fiancée and a significant influence on his work.

In Edgar Allan Poe's story "The Fall of the House of Usher," Roderick Usher's final revelation is that his sister, Madeline, who was presumed dead, is still alive. This realization leads to a series of catastrophic events culminating in the collapse of the House of Usher and the death of both siblings.

The first step for Poe when writing stories was to develop a unique and often macabre concept or theme. He would then meticulously plan the plot, incorporating elements of suspense and psychological depth to captivate the reader. Poe's attention to detail and intricate structure in his stories set him apart as a master of the short story genre.

Poe probably spent some of his first three years in Boston, the city where he was born, with his traveling-actor parents, and his mother, Elizabeth Arnold Hopkins Poe, left him a miniature portrait when she died in Richmond, Virginia with the inscription: 'For my little son Edgar, who should ever love Boston, the place of his birth, and where his mother found her best, and most sympathetic friends.' Poe's foster family resided in Richmond, Virginia, and the only time Poe spent any significant time in Boston during his adult life was when he enlisted in the US Army, and he was stationed at Fort Independence in Boston where he published his first small book of poetry, 'Tamerlane and Other Poems,' with the authorship listed as 'A Bostonian.' Poe famously called the Boston literati Frogpondians; a title inspired by the Frog Pond in Boston Common, and he did give lectures in Boston from time to time though he never enjoyed the city like his mother surely must have.

David Poe, Jr's burial place is unknown. He probably died in Norfolk, Virginia, so he may be buried in or near that city.

He was against transcendentalism, he was more of a Romanticism person. Transcendentalism is basically being one with nature and embracing it. Appreciating everything around us and all that crap. While Poe and Hawthorne and writers of the sort, wrote more of the darkness and evil that lies within mankind and nature in general. Such as Moby Dick, by Melville, the whale wins at the end showing the triumph of nature over mankind, and in the Scarlet Letter, by Hawthorne, it shows the evils of mankind in the puritan setting. All in all, they all helped people accept Romanticism and that not EVERYTHING has to always be appreciated, there's evil in this world too, and you need accept that.

WOO HOO took me a while to type up good examples, and I almost forgot who wrote Moby Dick haha

He mainly wrote in the Romanticism time period, but many people believed he also wrote in the moderism time period as well.

No, Poe was a writer of stories, books and poems and an editor of magazines and newspapers
