Description

Explore the deep connections between 17th-century literature and American literary giants in Early Modern Poetics in Melville and Poe: Memory, Melancholy, and the Emblematic Tradition. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work by William E. Engel examines how the early modern emblem tradition shaped the writing of Herman Melville and Edgar Allan Poe. While many researchers have noted the influence of early modern texts on these authors, this book provides a unique look at their compositional practices. Engel investigates how close readings of older texts guided their decisions regarding public performance and the requirements of publication. By tracing self-reflective organizational schemes linked to baroque artifice, this study offers a fresh perspective on how these authors approached the act of writing. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in historiography, literary theory, and the relationship between early modern art and 19th-century American literature. It provides a detailed analysis of how memory and melancholy function within the emblematic tradition to influence the structural choices of Melville and Poe.
