Found in a Bottle,’ he would deserve a high place among imaginative writers . . . there is scarcely one of the tales published in these two volumes before us, in which we do not find the development of great intellectual capacity, with a power for vivid description, an opulence of imagination, a fecundity of invention, and a command over the elegance of diction which have seldom been displayed, even by writers who have acquired the greatest distinction in the republic of letters.”

Tasistro, [a review of Poe’s Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque], New York Mirror, December 28, 1839.)]]> 2017-05-01 22:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jenrod1213/z6hdwaobymdx/wish/169300091 daniwhitehead https://padlet.com/jenrod1213/z6hdwaobymdx/wish/169300228 “No form of literary activity has so terribly degenerated among us as the tale. . . . In such a state of things, the writings of Mr Poe are a refreshment. . . . His narrative proceeds with vigor, his colours are applied with discrimination, and where the effects are fantastic they are not unmeaningly so. . . . The degree of skill shown in the management of revolting or terrible circumstances makes the pieces that have such subjects more interesting than the others. Even the failures are those of an intellect of strong fibre and well-chosen aim.”  (Margaret Fuller, “[Review of Poe’s Tales],” The New York Daily Tribune, July 11, 1845, p. 1.)]]> 2017-05-01 22:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jenrod1213/z6hdwaobymdx/wish/169300228
