Frank Baum. Both were highly influential authors, with distinct styles and thematic concerns that reflect their unique literary goals. Poe is renowned for his exploration of melancholy, death, and the human psyche. His works of...

As many citizens become increasingly disengaged from political processes, there is a risk of societal decay reminiscent of the decline represented in Poe's poem.

His business partner was Charles Ellis, and Ellis’s son Thomas (citing Louisa Allan as his source) wrote in 1881 that shortly before Allan’s death, Edgar had suddenly appeared at the Allan family h...
