Advanced Seminar
SoSe 19: E. A. Poe
Ulla Haselstein
Comments
Edgar Allan Poe is the internationally best known American writer of all times: his Gothic stories have entertained the world, and he was also the founder of the genre of detective fiction. But he is not only a popular writer, but also one of the first modernist writers. The seminar will explore the cultural site of Poe’s writings between Romanticism and modernism, his reception of scientific experiment, and his psychological concepts. We will discuss the grotesque side of his work and put it into historical context. We will also look at the economic conditions of the American literary market and investigate Poe’s work as produced by a writer who originated from the American South. And we will discuss different genres. Though Poe is famous for his short stories, he also wrote poetry, and a novel. close
