Edgar Allan Poe's short story 'The Tell-Tale Heart' - an analysis by Tobias Nitschke Pdf
Pre-University Paper from the year 2012 in the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: This Seminararbeit shall deal with the short story 'The Tell-Tale Heart' by one of the most famous American writers, Edgar Allan Poe. In the following pages, one will firstly be introduced to the author and his historical background, the American Romantic Movement with the subgenres Dark Romanticism and Gothic fiction. Afterwards, the short story will be analyzed regarding its content, literary devices and linguistic means, especially in the end. Furthermore, I wanted to think out of the box and therefore included a personal diagnosis regarding the narrator's psychological disorders. Rounding up this paper, I rewrote the short story by looking at it from a different perspective – my piece is told by the old man who is assassinated and can thereby answer some questions that have so far remained insoluble.
Selected Short Stories and Poems of American Romantics (Illustrated) by Edgar Allan Poe,Nathaniel Hawthorne,Herman Melville Pdf
This collection features classic short stories and poems by the nineteenth century literary giants, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville. Their masterpieces of mystery, terror and the supernatural abound with irony and symbolism and have been eulogized by world-renowned authors: "Poe's verses illustrate an intense faculty for technical and abstract beauty, with the rhyming art to excess, an incorrigible propensity toward nocturnal themes, a demonic undertone behind every page - and, by final judgement, probably belong among the electric lights of imaginative literature, brilliant and dazzling..." Walt Whitman, "Edgar Poe's Significance," The Critic, II, 1882 "The story of the Lady Ligeia is not merely one of the wonders of literature: it is unparalleled and unapproached." George Bernard Shaw, "Edgar Allan Poe," Nation, 1909 ..". in the field of letters, Hawthorne is the most valuable example of the American genius." Henry James, Hawthorne, 1879 "Melville at his best invariably wrote from a sort of dreamself, so that events which he relates as actual fact have indeed a far deeper reference to his own soul, his own inner life. Melville was, at the core, a mystic and an idealist" D. H. Lawrence, Studies in Classic American Literature, 1923 The book includes 10 unique illustrations and the following works: Ligeia The Fall of the House of Usher The Tell-Tale Heart The Black Cat The Cask of Amontillado The Pit and the Pendulum Dream-Land The Raven Ulalume The Birthmark Young Goodman Brown The Minister's Black Veil Rappaccini's Daughter Roger Malvin's Burial The Darken'd Veil Forms of Heroes Bartleby, The Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street The Martyr The Maldive Shark The Berg (A Dream) Look-Out Mountain (The Night Fight)
Edgar Allan Poe's Short Story Ligeia As a Text of the Romantic Period by Jessica Horn Pdf
Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, course: "The American Short Story", language: English, abstract: On these pages the elements of the Romantic Period in Edgar Allan Poe's short story "Ligeia" should be analysed. Poe, "who has so drastically altered the landscape of the popular imagination" (Wright 375) and who "had such a powerful effect on his fellow artists" (Wright 375), created with "Ligeia" a typical text of the Romantic Period. The text "Ligeia" is about the death of the young lady Ligeia. After her death her husband becomes addicted to opium. Although he spends most of his time thinking of Ligeia, he soon gets married with the lady Rowena Trevanion. After their marriage he brings Rowena into a bridal chamber. This chamber is full of funeral decorations, what attacks Rowena with horror. Because of that she gets ill and feels the presence of the dead Ligeia in the room. Finally Rowena dies and the narrator ends the story with Ligeia's transformation into Rowena's body. After this transformation the reader has to ask himself if Ligeia actually existed, if the whole story is true or if it only takes place in the imagination of the narrator. To illustrate "Ligeia" as a romantic text I will give a short overview of the history and the elements of the Romantic Period. Afterwards I will explain these elements in Poe's text "Ligeia" according to keywords like Gothic, Imagination, and the function of the narrator, which are usual for romanticism. Finally I will tell something about Poe's theory concerning the short story to show on the one hand the importance of the self as a major theme of romanticism and on the other hand why Poe helped to establish the genre of science fiction, horror, and fantasy in his modern form.
The Oxford Encyclopedia of American Literature by Jay Parini Pdf
This set treats the whole of American literature, from the European discovery of America to the present, with entries in alphabetical order. Each of the 350 substantive essays is a major interpretive contribution. Well-known critics and scholars provide clear and vividly written essays thatreflect the latest scholarship on a given topic, as well as original thinking on the part of the critic. The Encyclopedia is available in print and as an e-reference text from Oxford's Digital Reference Shelf.At the core of the encyclopedia lie 250 essays on poets, playwrights, essayists, and novelists. The most prominent figures (such as Whitman, Melville, Faulkner, Frost, Morrison, and so forth) are treated at considerable length (10,000 words) by top-flight critics. Less well known figures arediscussed in essays ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 words. Each essay examines the life of the author in the context of his or her times, looking in detail at key works and describing the arc of the writer's career. These essays include an assessment of the writer's current reputation with abibliography of major works by the writer as well as a list of major critical and biographical works about the writer under discussion.A second key element of the project is the critical assessments of major American masterworks, such as Moby-Dick, Song of Myself, Walden, The Great Gatsby, The Waste Land, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Death of a Salesmanr, or Beloved. Each of these essays offers a close reading of the given work,placing that work in its historical context and offering a range of possibilities with regard to critical approach. These fifty essays (ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 words) are simply and clearly enough written that an intelligent high school student should easily understand them, but sophisticatedenough that a college student or general reader in a public library will find the essays both informative and stimulating.The final major element of this encyclopedia consists of fifty-odd essays on literary movements, periods, or themes, pulling together a broad range of information and making interesting connections. These essays treat many of the same authors already discussed, but in a different context; they alsogather into the fold authors who do not have an entire essay on their work (so that Zane Grey, for example, is discussed in an essay on Western literature but does not have an essay to himself). In this way, the project is truly "encyclopedic," in the conventional sense. These essays aim forcomprehensiveness without losing anything of the narrative force that makes them good reading in their own right.In a very real fashion, the literature of the American people reflects their deepest desires, aspirations, fears, and fantasies. The Oxford Encyclopedia of American Literature gathers a wide range of information that illumines the field itself and clarifies many of its particulars.
Nineteenth-century American Romance by E. Miller Budick Pdf
Nineteenth-century American romance, as a genre, is defined by the writings of a particular group of authors - James Fenimore Cooper, Washington Irving, Charles Brockden Brown, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and Henry James - all of whom are associated with one another in time and place. In this volume, Emily Miller Budick examines the genre both as a style and within a historical context. She interprets American romance as an evolving literary aesthetic and cultural philosophy - as an effort by a group of writers to produce what Noah Webster called an "American tongue", a language imbued with the values of democracy and pluralism.
Short Stories (Annotated) by Various,Edgar Allan Poe Pdf
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Short Stories by Edgar Allan Poe, by VariousEdgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe; January 19, 1809 - October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of romanticism in the United States and of American literature as a whole, and was one of the earliest practitioners of the country's short story. He is also generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. Poe was the first known American writer to earn a living by writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.Nathaniel Hawthorne (Salem, July 4, 1804-Plymouth, May 19, 1864) was an American novelist and short story writer known for his many stories of Gothic fiction and dark romanticism. I have published his first work, a novel titled Fanshawe, in 1828. Later I have tried to remove it from his catalog, feeling that it did not match the standard of his later work. I have published several short stories in newspapers, which I have collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales.
