"Suky Snobbs"
"I have a very strong opinion that the world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players."
"Coquetry, like a regular army, but with its more formidable implements reserved in the background, is in the front and always ready for action."
"I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him."
"As a literary man, I shall be a failure."
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.
