Edgar Allan Poe —— The Cask of Amontillado ( 1809.01.19 ~ 1849.10.07) Poe was an American writer, poet, and literary critic. He is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and American literature as a whole, and he was one of the countrys earliest practitioners of the short story. Poe is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. 1 Born in Boston, 1809.01.19; his father abandoned the family in 1810; his mother died in 1811 Adopted by John Allan in Richmond, Virginia 1826 studied at University of Virginia, gave up study 1827 Enlisted in the United States Army 1830 Registed in West Point 1831 his brother died; he tried to live by writing alone 1835 married Virginia, he was 26 and she 13 1845 The Raven published 1847 his wife died 1849 he died, the actual cause of his death remained a mystery 2 与俗殊咸酸 —— 茅盾 他是个值得变换视角、多看几眼的作家。 —— 盛宁 A rather highly ingenious exercise in the art of rationalization —— Joseph Wood Krutch The jingle man —— Emerson 3 The reception -- 3 phases Comments on his personality rather than his works ( 论人而不论文） Comments on his works combining his life experiences （文本与生平的联结） Comments on the deep and abstract layers of his works ( 全方位多角度的批评） 4 Significance Father of modern short story Father of detective story Father of science fiction 5 Works Science Fiction: MS.
