Book Description
Edgar Allan Poe’s gift for the macabre–
his genius in finding the strangeness lurking at
the heart of things–was so extraordinary that
he exerted a major influence on Baudelaire and
French symbolism, on Freudian analysis, and
also on the detective novel and the Hollywood
movie. His psychologically profound stories of
encounters with the marvelous, the uncanny, and
the dreadful represent–in contrast to the opti­
mism of writers like Emerson and Whitman–
the other, darker side of the nineteenth-century
American sensibility.
