Edgar Allan Poe's gift for the macabre-his genius in finding the
strangeness lurking at the heart of things-was so extraordinary
that he exerted a major influence on Baudelaire and French
symbolism, on Freudian analysis, and also on the detective novel
and the Hollywood movie. His psychologically profound stories of
encounters with the marvelous, the uncanny, and the dreadful
represent-in contrast to the optimism of writers like Emerson and
Whitman-the other, darker side of the nineteenth-century American
sensibility.
