Extractions: THE THOUSAND-AND-SECOND TALE OF SCHEHERAZADE Truth is stranger than fiction. OLD SAYING. HAVING had occasion, lately, in the course of some Oriental investigations, to consult the Tellmenow Isitsoornot, a work which (like the Zohar of Simeon Jochaides) is scarcely known at all, even in Europe; and which has never been quoted, to my knowledge, by any American if we except, perhaps, the author of the "Curiosities of American Literature"; having had occasion, I say, to turn over some pages of the first mentioned very remarkable work, I was not a little astonished to discover that the literary world has hitherto been strangely in error respecting the fate of the vizier's daughter, Scheherazade, as that fate is depicted in the "Arabian Nights"; and that the denouement there given, if not altogether inaccurate, as far as it goes, is at least to blame in not having gone very much farther. For full information on this interesting topic, I must refer the inquisitive reader to the "Isitsoornot" itself, but in the meantime, I shall be pardoned for giving a summary of what I there discovered.

Extractions: T hese trifles are collected and republished chiefly with a view to their redemption from the many improvements to which they have been subjected while going at random "the rounds of the press." I am naturally anxious that what I have written should circulate as I wrote it, if it circulate at all. In defence of my own taste, nevertheless, it is incumbent upon me to say that I think nothing in this volume of much value to the public, or very creditable to myself. Events not to be controlled have prevented me from making, at any time, any serious effort in what, under happier curcumstances, would have been not a purpose, but a passion; and the passions should be held in reverence; they must not - they cannot at will be excited, with an eye to the paltry compensations, or the more paltry commendations of mankind.

Neurotic Poets: Edgar Allan Poe edgar allan poe. (18091849). ersonal tragedy was, unfortunately, arecurring theme throughout edgar allan poe s life. Born in Boston http://www.neuroticpoets.com/poe/
Extractions: ersonal tragedy was, unfortunately, a recurring theme throughout Edgar Allan Poe's life. Born in Boston in 1809 to actor parents, he never knew his father David Poe, who left his mother and disappeared soon after Edgar was born, then died in Virginia in 1810. His mother, who suffered from tuberculosis (then called consumption), died in Richmond, Virginia in late 1811, orphaning Edgar, his older brother William Henry, and half-sister Rosalie. Mrs. Frances Allan of Richmond convinced her wealthy merchant husband John Allan to take the child Edgar into his home. It was here that Edgar was to be raised, with his early influences being the stories of house slaves and the tales told by skippers and sea merchants. The dead and dying would always have a strong hold over Edgar, as demonstrated by the story that a six-year old Edgar was once "seized with terror" as he passed by a local graveyard, convinced that the spirits of the undead would run after him. In 1815, the family went to Scotland and England, where they lived for five years. Poe's schoolboy experiences there added further influences to the young writer's life. Once back in Richmond, Edgar began writing poetry regularly when he was in his early teens. He fell in love with a girl named Elmira, and they eventually pledged themselves to each other. In 1826 he was sent to the University of Virginia to study law. His rich foster father, with whom Edgar had always had a tumultuous relationship, gave him a mere $100 to cover yearly expenses that probably totaled to at least $450. Under these circumstances the young man quickly fell into debt, and began gambling in an attempt to make up his losses. On top of this, Elmira's letters to him had been intercepted by both sets of parents and, having received no encouraging replies from Edgar, she was persuaded to become engaged to another man. After this, Edgar began drinking seriously, he had little resistance to alcohol and easily became violent and irrational when he drank too much.

Extractions: Edgar Allan Poe was one of the most original writers in the history of American letters, a genius who was tragically misunderstood in his lifetime. He was a seminal figure in the development of science fiction and the detective story, and exerted a great influence on Dostoyevsky, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jules Verne, and Charles Baudelaire, who championed him long before Poe was appreciated in his own country. Baudelaire's enthusiasm brought Poe a wide audience in Europe, and his writing came to have enormous importance for modern French literature.

Extractions: Edgar Allan Poe's name is synonymous with horror. However, his contribution to American literature far exceeds the dark and macabre. Poe also wrote romantic poetry, black comedy, science fiction, broad farce, and is considered by many to be the father of the detective story. It is no wonder that each of the cities Poe lived in - Boston, MA; Richmond, VA; New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA; and Baltimore, MD - honors him as one of their own. For the true devotee, a pilgrimage to the monuments erected to Poe is a must, but trips up and down the eastern seaboard are not always a viable option. Fortunately, there is the World Wide Web. As a testimony to Poe's enduring popularity, there are websites that explore Poe's work, his life, even his grave site. The best place to begin is with the works of Poe himself. There are several selective collections on line, but the The Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore has undertaken the daunting task of placing all of Poe's works online.
