Began writing for a magazine Became emotionally unstable/bouts of drunkenness?? (couldn’t tolerate alcohol, lesion on brain = opium to control pain) Never happy, always looking to future Wife he was then with many women, engaged twice Found dead in Baltimore, unconscious on sidewalk

Literary Achievements Poe’s literary criticism led to theory of Romantic litr. Gave short story its form (w/Hawthorne) Invented the detective story Stories of detection and horror Explores the dark side of our inner experience; imagination used to explore the irrational world of human mind

Literary Achievements Imprt. Amr. Poet = unreal atmosphere = musical effects Favorite/most worthy subject = death of beautiful woman Main theme = dissolution of personality = man works against his best interests

Literary Devices Alliteration (nearly napping) Internal Rhyme Assonance (flung the shutter) Consonance (truly your forgiveness)
