"I have made up my mind to get rid of my wife. I have a plan for it."
"The Tale originated in a bet that I could produce nothing effective on a subject so singular, provided I treated it seriously."
"Why does a lady in tight corsets never need comfort? Because she's already so laced. — solaced."
"I have been in love with a great many women. I have never been in love with a man."
"The pure Imagination is a faculty, and not a quality."
American Gothic poet and short-story writer who invented the detective story (Murders in the Rue Morgue) and shaped horror literature. Closely associated with Nathaniel Hawthorne (fellow American Gothic) and Charles Baudelaire (his French translator and torch-bearer). For an intellectual contrast, see Ralph Waldo Emerson, Transcendentalist optimist of self-reliance — Poe wrote essays attacking the entire Transcendentalist circle as didactic and intellectually thin — he derisively called them 'Frogpondians' and treated their cheerful mysticism as the literary opposite of his macabre realism.
A character name in one of Poe's early comic tales.
Date: 1830s-1840s (approximate)
