Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe; January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American author, poet, editor, and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story, and is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.
The Raven
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visiter," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door— Only this and nothing more."
alliteration(押頭韻): the repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of sounds at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables of an English language phrase. (創造氛圍)
The Tell-Tale Heart


"The Tell-Tale Heart" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe first published in 1843. It is told by an unnamed narrator who endeavors(試圖) to convince the reader of his sanity, while describing a murder he committed. (The victim was an old man with a filmy "vulture-eye", as the narrator calls it.) The murder is carefully calculated, and the murderer hides the body by dismembering(肢解)it and hiding it under the floorboards. Ultimately the narrator's guilt manifests(明白的)itself in the form of the sound—possibly hallucinatory(幻覺的)—of the old man's heart still beating under the floorboards.

The Philosophy of Composition (文學批評的先驅)
The Philosophy of Composition" is an 1846 essay written by American writer Edgar Allan Poe that elucidates a theory about how good writers write when they write well. Poe uses the composition of his own poem "The Raven" as an example.
