Edgar Allan Poe est un célèbre poète et romancier américain. Il possédait un talent poétique et littéraire extraordinaire ; Il a commencé à lire et à écrire de la poésie à l'âge de cinq ans, ce qui a surpris ses professeurs, et tout au long de sa vie, l'écriture a été son refuge et son refuge. Il commence à publier sa poésie depuis qu'il est conscrit, sous le pseudonyme "Alan Berry", puis poursuit sa production littéraire. En plus de sa poésie, il avait une production d'histoires distinctive qui faisait de lui un père fondateur de ce qu'on appelait la «littérature d'horreur gothique», qui regorgeait d'histoires et d'histoires. "Po" est mort pauvre débiteur à l'âge de quarante ans en l'an 1849 de notre ère, deux ans après la mort de sa jeune femme, qu'il aimait tant, à cause de sa cruauté et de sa douleur.

There are, no doubt, many who have found difficulty in reconciling the critical dictum that the “Paradise Lost” is to be devoutly admired throughout, with the absolute impossibility of maintaining for it, during perusal, the amount of enthusiasm which that critical dictum would demand. The great work, in fact, is to be regarded as poetical, only when, losing sight of that vital requisite in all works of Art, Unity, we view it merely as a series of minor poems. If, to preserve its Unity—its totality of effect or impression—we read it (as would be necessary) at a single sitting, the result is but a constant alternation of excitement and depression. After a passage of what we feel to be true poetry, there follows, inevitably, a passage of platitude which no critical prejudgment can force us to admire; but if, upon completing the work, we read it again, omitting the first book (that is to say, commencing with the second), we shall be surprised at now finding that admirable which we before condemned—that damnable which we had previously so much admired. It follows from all this that the ultimate, aggregate, or absolute effect of even the best epic under the sun is a nullity;—and this is precisely the fact.
