Why is Poe the Master of the Macabre????greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Work of Edgar Allan Poe : One Thread |
I have to do a paper on why Poe was hte master of the macabre. Can anyone help me? I know he suffered his mothers and Mrs. Allens death, and had a drinking problem, but did anything else contribute to his horribly gruesome stories??
