Free Download Barbara Cantalupo, "Poe and the Visual Arts"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 0271064285, 0271063106, 0271063092 | PDF | pages: 213 | 60.0 mb
Although Edgar Allan Poe is most often identified with stories of horror and fear, there is an unrecognized and even forgotten side to the writer. He was a self-declared lover of beauty who "from childhood’s hour . . . [had] not seen / As others saw." Poe and the Visual Arts is the first comprehensive study of how Poe’s work relates to the visual culture of his time. It reveals his "deep worship of all beauty," which resounded in his earliest writing and never entirely faded, despite the demands of his commercial writing career. Barbara Cantalupo examines the ways in which Poe integrated visual art into sketches, tales, and literary criticism, paying close attention to the sculptures and paintings he saw in books, magazines, and museums while living in Philadelphia and New York from 1838 until his death in 1849. She argues that Poe’s sensitivity to visual media gave his writing a distinctive "graphicality" and shows how, despite his association with the macabre, his enduring love of beauty and knowledge of the visual arts richly informed his corpus.

Free Download Suzanne Ashworth, "Perverse Feelings: Poe and American Masculinity"
English | ISBN: 1793626529 | 2022 | 234 pages | EPUB | 538 KB
Perverse Feelings: Poe and American Masculinity examines white masculinity in Poe’s fiction and the culture it represents. Poe’s men are tormented by chronic illness, deviant attachments, and ugly emotions. As it analyzes these afflictions, this book illuminates the pathologies of American masculinity that emerged in a terrible history of imperialism, capitalism, racism, misogyny, and homophobia. One of its central contentions is that we can better understand a past and present American masculinity through a reckoning with its "perverse feelings." More pointedly, this book asks: What does masculinity feel? What does white American masculinity feel in the first decades of nation formation? What does it feel in the crucible of its revolution, its slave system, its democracy, its nascent capitalism, and its pursuit of happiness? What feelings besiege and beleaguer Poe’s men? And what can they teach us about the antagonisms of contemporary white American masculinity?

Free Download The Portable Edgar Allan Poe by Edgar Allan Poe, J. Gerald Kennedy
English | 2006 | ISBN: 0143039911 | 628 Pages | EPUB | 675.2 KB
The first new edition of this landmark anthology since 1945, The Portable Edgar Allan Poe presents a more complicated, perverse, and culturally engaged Poe. Once perceived as a writer profoundly detached from time and place, the most otherworldly of early American authors, Poe emerges, through the texts collected and annotated here, as a figure alive to the controversies of American culture but also determined to defy convention, shock his readers, confound his critics, and resist the pressures of literary nationalism through haunting depictions of primal ordeals. Along with Poe’s familiar masterworks in poetry and fiction, The Portable Edgar Allan Poe includes a selection of satirical tales and a suggestive sampling of Poe’s letters.
