Edgar Allan Poe is a famous American poet and novelist. He possessed an extraordinary poetic and literary talent; He began reading and writing poetry when he was five years old, which surprised his teachers, and throughout his life, writing was his haven and haven. He began publishing his poetry since he was a conscript, under the pseudonym "Alan Berry", then continued his literary production. In addition to his poetry, he had a distinctive story production that made him a founding father of what was known as “Gothic horror literature,” which was replete with stories and stories. "Po" died a poor debtor at the age of forty in the year 1849 CE, two years after the death of his young wife, whom he loved so badly, because of his cruelty and pain.

Book Description

The poetic principle pdf by Edgar Allan Poe

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.
