More from Edgar Allan Poe
"The waggish author of 'The New Mirror' is, I believe, the first who has openly maintained the doctrine that the great end of a writer is to get money."
"It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night."
"I have made up my mind to get rid of my wife. I have a plan for it."
"I believe that the soul of man is immortal, and that it will live forever."
"It is with literature as with women: one must have a certain experience to appreciate its value."
About Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)
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.
