Zusammenfassung: | "Over 170 years after his death, Edgar Allan Poe remains a figure of enduring fascination and speculation for readers, scholars, and devotees of the weird and macabre. In Fallen Angel, acclaimed novelist and poet Robert Morgan offers a new biography of this gifted, complicated author. Focusing on Poe's personal relationships, Morgan chronicles how several women influenced his life and art. Eliza Poe, his mother, died before he turned three, but she haunted him ever after. The loss of Elmira Royster Shelton, his first and last love, devastated him and inspired much of his poetry. Morgan shows that Poe, known for his gothic and supernatural writing, was also a poet of the natural world who helped invent the detective story, science fiction, analytical criticism, and symbolist aesthetics. Though he died at age forty, Poe left behind works of great originality and vision that Fallen Angel explores with depth and feeling"-- |

OVER IYO YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH, Edgar Allan Poe remains a figure of enduring fascination and speculation for readers, scholars, and devotees of the weird and macabre. In Fallen Angel, acclaimed novelist and poet Robert Mor gan offers a new biography of this gifted, compli cated author. In Morgan's telling, the features of Poe’s personality and life that stand out most are not only his genius but his endurance. Amid often dire personal circumstances, Poe produced im portant work in three fields—poetry, fiction, and criticism—breaking new ground in each, while facing poverty and loneliness as an outsider to the literary world of New York and New England. Focusing on Poe’s personal relationships, Morgan chronicles how several women influ enced his life and art. Eliza Poe, his mother, died before he turned three, but she haunted him ever after. The loss of Elmira Royster Shelton, his first and last love, devastated him and inspired much of his poetry. Morgan shows that Poe, known for his gothic and supernatural writing, was also a poet of the natural world who helped invent the detective story, science fiction, analytical criti cism, and symbolist aesthetics. By pairing a vigorous narrative with new insights into the author’s writings, Fallen Angel places Poe in the culture of his time and shows how he was often at odds with it. Though he died at age forty, Poe left behind works of great origi nality and vision that Morgan explores with depth and feeling. |
