More from Edgar Allan Poe
"I have... for the metaphysical poets [William Wordsworth, etc.], as poets, the most sovereign contempt. That they have followers proves nothing."
"Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see."
"I am a man of the world, and have seen much of its evil. I have also seen something of its good."
"I intend to put up with nothing that I can put down."
"The 99th part of literature is absolute rubbish. The one hundredth part is not so bad. The one hundredth part of that is worth reading."
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.
