Initially composed by Poe as a public lecture towards the end his
career and considered by him the culmination of all his life's
work, Eureka is an extended treatise about the creation, existence
and the ultimate end of the world. An idiosyncratic blend of
creative writing and scientific discourse, with unexpected forays
into comedy and wordplay, this self-styled "prose poem" is a
genre-defying masterpiece. Although it baffled the reading public
of its time, Eureka found many prominent admirers, from Charles
Baudelaire to W.H. Auden, and has since assembled an audience
receptive to its unique appeal as a compendium of European thought
that anticipated many current theories and discoveries while also
pioneering many elements of science-fiction aesthetics.
