| Abstract: | The present paper aims at resituating Edgar Allan Poe in the canon of modern poetry. To this intent, a re-reading of the Philosophy of Composition is made, in the context of his prose work, and considering technical details invoked there as pioneering steps in establishing formats which now constitudes de facto standards in entertainment industry. Far from being, as considered by T. S. Eliot, the result of a misunderstanding, the influence of Poe, along with that of the other great American poet of 19th century, Walt Whitman, have shaped the poetry of the 20th, and, probably, the 21st century. |
