3.1 Edgar Poe’s artistic manner

Summing up I would like to point out Edgar Poe’s artistic manner. Having read and analyzed some of his stories I came to the conclusion that absorbing of narration is one of the clearest features of Edgar Poe’s artistic manner. His reader is always the collaborator of described events. He trembles with impatience when Duplin investigates the place of murder and makes his mathematic conclusions, he bears hunger, cold and fear with the heroes, he suffers all kinds of adventures. Everything that he describes in his own life, with his own experiences and that’s why we may say that his own life is reflected in his works.

Poe developed a theory of composition that he applied to both his short stories and his poems. Its most basic principle was that in so far as short fiction and poetry were concerned the writer should aim at creating a single and total psychological spiritual effect upon the reader. The theme of plot of the piece is always subordinate to the author’s calculated construction of single intense mood in the reader’s or listener’s mind, be it melancholy, suspense, or horror. There are no extra elements in Poe, no subplots no minor characters, that show he madness of deranged first person (I) narrators. Ultimately, Poe took writing to be a moral task that worked not through teacher lessons, but in simultaneously stimulating his readers’ mental, emotional and spiritual faculties through texts of absolute integrily. Poe, moreover, judged others by these same standards. By doing so he is establishing the rules and methods common to New Criticism, the leading school of literary analysis in the 20th century with, its insistence that the text must be interpreted from the critic’s opinions of its author or the suitability of its themes.

Edgar Poe points out the main principle of literary compositions. He defines this principle as follows: “The combination of events and color, which would rather serve to creation of the main effect”, or as he calls it totality effect. He applies luxury and picturesque descriptions, verity usage of expressive contrasts in situations, language, characters, “emotional air” surrounding heroes; the force of monotone.

So, the most characteristic feature of Edgar Poe’s works is the creation of effect, to impress the readers. His artistic manner roused vivid interest of many writers from different countries and different ideological and aesthetic trends.
