  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  Edgar Allan Poe is one of the most popular writers in American literary history, and yet a maelstrom of mysteries and misunderstandings swirl around his work, his life, and his legacy. But as Poe himself wrote, "Believe nothing you hear and half of what you see." This course attempts to shed light on Poe's works of Gothic horror, detective fiction, and journalism. Beginning with the eighteenth-century fiction of Charles Brockden Brown, it examines the American Gothic tradition from which Poe's distinctive brand of horror arose before exploring topics including mental illness, drug abuse, murder, entombment, beauty, originality, science, and the supernatural in his poems, short stories, journalism, and hoaxes. It concludes by tracing Poe's influence in contemporary works of literature, film, television, and video games.
