1527503879 pdf 1527503879 pdf This collection of essays, which rediscovers Edgar Allan Poes not forgotten lore, comprises a two-headed scholarly body, drawing from communication and linguistics and literature, although it also includes many other academic offshoots which explore Poes labyrinthine and variegated imagination. The papers are classified according to two main domains, namely: (I) Edgar Allan Poe in Language, Literature and Translation Studies, and (II) Edgar Allan Poe in Communication and the Arts. In short, this book combines rigour and modernity and pays homage, with a fresh outlook, to Poes extra-ordinary originality and brilliant weirdness which prompted renowned authors like James Russell Lowell and Howard P. Lovecraft to claim, respectively, that Mr. Poe has that indescribable something which men have agreed to call genius and that Poes tales possess an almost absolute perfection of artistic form which makes them veritable beacon lights in the province of the short story. Poes weird tales are alive in a manner that few others can ever hope to be.
