Abstract Details

2017, M.A. (Master of Arts in English), Ohio Dominican University, English.
This work examines the correlation between Edgar Allan Poe’s detective fiction and the environment that influenced him. It focuses on three areas: his journalistic interests, contemporary inspirations, and the effects of a military education. Positioning Poe’s detective stories within a historical and cultural context while tracing influences and motivations, lends understanding to the relevance of his new form of story telling and how it was compatible with the world around it.
