Jacques Lacan's seminar on "The Purloined Letter" at once challenged literary theorists and revealed a radically new conception of psychoanalysis. His far-reaching claims about language and truth provoked a vigorous critique by Jacques Derrida, whose essay in turn has spawned further responses from Barbara Johnson, Jane Gallop, Irene Harvey, Norman Holland, and others.

Edgar Allan Poe has become so strongly associated with the dark nature of his work that, in some minds, it’s as if he’s the central character—rather than the author—of the many horror and mystery tales that bear his name. And yet, well over a century after his death, his story remains as fascinating as those he wove, largely because the shadow cast by Poe was not one of his own design.
In Edgar Allan Poe: An Illustrated Companion to His Tell-Tale Stories, Poe’s biography comes to life through images and fascinating memorabilia, including:

A portion of his handwritten manuscript for the poem “A Dream Within a Dream.” Contentious letters he exchanged with his foster father, John Allan. The bon indicating his intention to marry his cousin Virginia. His controversial obituary as it appeared in the New York Daily Tribune. After touring his visual, interactive biography, fans of Poe will read “The Raven” and countless other classics with new appreciation.

Edgar Allan Poe was an oddity: his life, literature, and legacy are all, well, odd. In Poe-Land, J. W. Ocker explores the physical aspects of Poe s legacy across the East Coast and beyond, touring Poe s homes, examining artifacts from his life locks of his hair, pieces of his coffin, original manuscripts, his boyhood bed and visiting the many memorials dedicated to him.

Along the way, Ocker meets people from a range of backgrounds and professions actors, museum managers, collectors, historians who have dedicated some part of their lives to Poe and his legacy. Poe-Land is a unique travelogue of the afterlife of the poet who invented detective fiction, advanced the emerging genre of science fiction, and elevated the horror genre with a mastery over the macabre that is arguably still unrivaled today."

Знаменитый американский журналист, писатель и поэт, автор мрачных рассказов, создатель жанра фантастических детективов. Подобно своим литературным героям, Эдгар Аллан По прожил жизнь, полную самых противоречивых событий и переживаний. Он испытал творческие взлеты и падения, был богат и нередко едва сводил концы с концами, пережил годы незабываемого счастья, а к концу жизни был подавлен смертью любимой жены... Смерть писателя, как и многие происшествия в его произведениях, окутана тайной. До сих пор никто из расследователей творчества по доподлинно не знает, что произошло накануне 3 октября 1849 г., когда писатель был найден в бредовом состоянии, лежащим на улице в Балтиморе (Мэриленд).
