Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3 (A), Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (American Studies), course: Edgar Allan Poe, language: English, abstract: "The Masque of the Red Death" first appeared in May 1842 in Graham's Magazine. It is generally grouped together with three other of Poe's stories, namely "King Pest", which first appeared in the Southern Literary Messenger in September 1835, "The Cask of Amontillado", published in Godey's Magazine and Lady's Book 33 in 1846, and "Hop-Frog", published in The Flag of Our Union in 1849. Since all these stories take place dur-ing the carnival season, they are called "The Masquerades". In her book "The Life and Works of Edgar Allan Poe. A Psycho-Analytic Interpretation", Marie Bonaparte takes a Freudian approach to Poe's stories, Sigmund Freud himself wrote the preface, and claims that all the above tales are connected to Poe's father com-plex [Bonaparte; 507]. In her interpretation of "The Masque of the Red Death", the figure of the Red Death is an incorporation of the father who returns to punish the son. This is just one reading of the story. Much has been published about "The Masque of the Red Death", one of Poe's most read tales. Scholars have tried to find its roots, like Burton R. Pollin, who assumes that Poe used his own "Shadow - A Parable" as a source for "The Masque of the Red Death". Others attempted to compare the story of Prince Prospero and his followers to other great works of art, for example Christopher Brown, who saw parallels between "The Masque of the Red Death" and Henry James's The Portrait of a Lady. A lot of research has also been done on the narrator of the tale - I will only elabo-rate on the most plausible theories on who it is that is telling this tale. Equally important, "The Masque of the Red Death" is said to contain one of the most exact definitions of the grotesque in the literary sense. Finally, as almost all of Poe's ta

This book was released on 2022-06-29 with total page 104 pages. Book excerpt: The Masque of the Red Death (1964), the seventh collaboration between producer-director Roger Corman and horror icon Vincent Price, became the crowning achievement for both men, their masterpiece. After the critical and commercial success of House of Usher in 1960, Corman fervently desired to adapt Edgar Allan Poe’s story, ‘The Masque of the Red Death’ as his next project, but the tale took three years to finally become, not Corman’s second Poe film, but his second to last. Its long development benefitted the end result, and the story of its making reveals the persistence and vision of Corman, the artist and entrepreneur of classic horror. In this Devil’s Advocate, Steve Haberman takes an auteurist approach to the film with Corman as the ultimate author of the work. He explores the emergence of Corman’s themes and techniques through directorial control and compares them with the intentions and concerns of the story’s original creator, Poe. In his research, Haberman secured both drafts of the script, the first by Charles Beaumont and the last by R. Wright Campbell, consulted published interviews and met with Corman. The result illuminates not only the film but the profound and profoundly dark world views of both Roger Corman and Edgar Allan Poe.

Full book Edgar Allan Poe s The Masque of the Red Death provides various symbols of transience in connection with the lack of morality in human behavior. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 17 pages. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Amerikanistik/Anglistik), course: Paradigms of American Literature: E.A. Poe, language: English, abstract: In this paper, I will examine the numerous symbols of transience Poe uses in "The Masque of the Red Death" and analyze what they represent and how they contribute or influence the plot of the story. Therefore, I will refer to the work of various literary and social scientists and critics such as Jeffrey Meyers and Sabrina Laurent, but also other scholars from different fields. In addition, I will depict that the events within the short story are intended to give an insight into the negative behavior of humans in order to serve as an example of what morally reprehensible behavior can result in. Nowadays it is common knowledge that Edgar Allan Poe is one of the most famous representatives when it comes to the involvement of personal experiences and the placement of hidden symbols in short stories and poems. The Masque of the Red Death is no exception and also represents one of Poe's most popular tales. It first appeared in Graham's Magazine in May 1842 and, due to the time it was written, was part of the so-called "Masquerades" along with three other of Poe's stories. The short story contains a decent amount of symbolism and has therefore often been interpreted differently by many literary scholars over the past years. It was investigated where the origins of the story may lie, which parallels can be drawn to the real world, what basically inspired the story and what morals can be derived from it. But many attempts have also been made to identify the true nature of the disease of the same name. Therefore, the variety of publications on this work is very broad and thus offers different answers and analysis approaches. Still, it is certain that the short story follows many traditions of Gothic fiction and is often analyzed as an allegory about the inevitability of death.

Book excerpt: ▶ 에드거 앨런 포의 적사병의 가면극(The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe)(1842)은 1842년 그래햄 매거진(Graham's Magazine) 5월호에 최초로 공개된 미국 작가 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe)(1809~1849)의 단편 소설입니다. 작품에는 감염되자마자 30분 만에 사망하는 정체불명의 전염병(plague), 일명 적사병(Red Death)을 피해 오직 천 명의 국민만을 추려 수도원(the abbey)으로 스스로 고립된 프로스페로 왕자(Prince Prospero)가 등장합니다. 그가 거주하는 수도원에는 각기 다른 콘셉트로 꾸며진 7개의 방이 있으며, 성 밖에서 국민들이 숨을 거두고 있을 때 화려한 음악과 함께 매일같이 가장무도회(a masquerade ball)를 개최하는 모습은 그 자체로 으스스합니다……. 과연 포는 프로스페로 왕자와 그의 일행들에게 영원히 행복한 삶을 선사할까요? 글쎄요, 그렇진 않을 것 같네요……. 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics)과 함께 어제도, 오늘도, 내일도 멋진 문학여행을! B ▶ But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys. This was an extensive and magnificent structure, the creation of the prince’s own eccentric yet august taste. A strong and lofty wall girdled it in. This wall had gates of iron. The courtiers, having entered, brought furnaces and massy hammers and welded the bolts. ▷ 하지만 프로스페로 왕자는 행복하고 용감하며 현명했습니다. 그의 영토가 절반의 인구가 감소했을 때, 그는 그의 궁정의 기사들과 딸들 사이에서 천 명의 금발이고 가벼운 친구들을 그의 앞에 불러들였고, 그들과 함께 그의 성스러운 수도원 중 한 명의 깊은 은둔지로 은퇴했습니다. 이것은 광범위하고 웅장한 건축물로, 왕자의 기이하면서도 고귀한 취향을 만들어냈습니다. 튼튼하고 높은 벽이 그것을 감쌌습니다. 이 벽에는 철문이 있었습니다. 궁정들은 들어간 후 용광로와 거대한 망치를 가져와 볼트를 용접했습니다. ▶ They resolved to leave means neither of ingress nor egress to the sudden impulses of despair or of frenzy from within. The abbey was amply provisioned. With such precautions the courtiers might bid defiance to contagion. The external world could take care of itself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think. The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure. There were buffoons, there were improvisatori, there were ballet-dancers, there were musicians, there was Beauty, there was wine. All these and security were within. Without was the “Red Death”. ▷ 그들은 절망의 갑작스러운 충동이나 내부로부터의 광란에 대한 진입이나 퇴장을 의미하지 않기로 결정했습니다. 수도원은 충분히 공급되었습니다. 그러한 예방 조치로 신하들은 전염병에 저항할 수 있습니다. 외부 세계는 스스로를 돌볼 수 있습니다. 그동안 슬퍼하거나 생각하는 것은 어리석은 일이었습니다. 왕자는 쾌락의 모든 기구를 제공했습니다. 광대, 즉흥 연주, 발레 댄서, 음악가, 미녀, 와인이 있었습니다. 이 모든 것과 보안이 내부에 있었습니다. "적사병"이 없었습니다. ▶ 적사병(Red Death)이 뭐야?! : 적사병(Red Death)은 적사병의 가면극(1842)에서 감염되자마자 30분 만에 사망하는 정체불명의 전염병(plague)을 일컫는 표현입니다만, 실제로 존재하는 질병은 아닙니다. 우리에게 친숙한 흑사병(黑死病, Black Death)을 살짝 변형한 것으로 추정됩니다. 질병의 이름 자체가 ‘죽음(Death)’을 뜻한다는 것은 그 자체로 스포일러가 되는데, 이 때문에 가장무도회에 등장하는 적사병(Red Death)에 대한 다양한 해석이 가능하지요. 실체 없이 붉은 가면을 쓴 그의 정체는 과연 무엇일까요?! ▶ The “Red Death” had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour. ▷ "적사병"은 오랫동안 이 나라를 황폐화시켰습니다. 어떤 역병도 그렇게 치명적이거나 끔찍한 적이 없었습니다. 피는 그것의 아바타이자 그것의 도장, 즉 피의 붉은색과 공포였습니다. 심한 통증과 갑작스러운 현기증, 그리고 모공에서 출혈이 심하고 용출이 있었습니다. 시신과 특히 피해자의 얼굴에 묻은 주홍색 얼룩은 그를 원조와 동료들의 동정으로부터 격리시킨 해충 금지령이었습니다. 그리고 모든 발작, 병의 진행과 종식은 단 30분이었습니다. ▶ 적사병을 피해 달아났으나, 역설적으로 스스로를 수도원에 가둔 프로스페로 왕자(Prince Prospero)는 어리석은 인간에 대한 비유일 것입니다. 프로스페로이 익숙하신 분이 계시다면, 윌리엄 셰익스피어(William Shakespeare)(1564~1616)의 템페스트(The Tempest)(1610)를 떠올리실 것입니다. 템페스트의 프로스페로는 동생 안토니오에게 추방당한 밀라노의 공작으로, 폭풍으로 인해 표류한 안토니오에게 복수한 후 다시 나폴리로 금의환향하는 인물입니다. 해피엔딩을 맞은 셰익스피어의 템페스트와 달리 적사병의 가면극(1842)의 프로스페로에겐 편안한 죽음이 허락되지 않았습니다. ▶ And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired. And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all. ▷ 그리고 이제 적사병의 존재가 인정되었습니다. 그는 밤중에 도둑처럼 왔습니다. 그리고 하나둘씩 그들의 흥청망청 피로 물든 홀에 경배자들을 떨어뜨렸고, 그가 쓰러졌을 때의 절망적인 자세로 각각 죽었습니다. 흑단시계의 삶은 마지막 게이들의 삶과 함께 사라졌습니다. 그리고 삼각대의 불꽃은 사라졌습니다. 그리고 어둠과 부패와 붉은 죽음이 모든 것을 무한히 지배했습니다. -목차(Index)- ▶ 프롤로그(Prologue). 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics) 999선을 읽어야 하는 7가지 이유 ▶ 14가지 키워드로 읽는 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe)(1809~1849) 01. 술에 취해 단명한 알코올 중독자, 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe)(1809~1849) 02. 낸터킷의 아서 고든 핌의 이야기(The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket)(1838) 02-1. 남극의 신비(An Antarctic Mystery)(1897) & 광기의 산맥(At the Mountains of Madness)(1931) 03. 추리 소설의 원조 모르그 가의 살인사건(The Murders in the Rue Morgue)(1841) 04. 황금충(黃金蟲, The Gold-Bug)(1843) 05. 에드거 앨런 포 상(The Edgar Allan Poe Awards)(1946~) 06. 갈가마귀(The Raven)(1845) & 애너벨 리(Annabel Lee)(1849) 07. 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe)와 아서 코난 도일(Arthur Conan Doyle)을 합하면? 명탐정 코난(名探偵 コナン)(1994~현재)! 08. 매튜 펄(Matthew Pearl) 포의 그림자(The Poe Shadow)(2006) 09. 영화 더 레이븐(The Raven)(2012) 10. 뮤지컬 에드거 앨런 포(Edagar Alan Poe)(2017~2019) 11. 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe)를 만나는 장소 TOP16 12. 오디오북(Audio Books)으로 듣는 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe) 13. 에드거 앨런 포(Edgar Allan Poe) 어록(Quotes)(100) ▶ 에드거 앨런 포의 적사병의 가면극(The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe)(1842) ▷ THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH ▶ 부록(Appendix). 세계의 고전을 여행하는 히치하이커를 위한 안내서(The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Worlds’s Classics) A01. 하버드 서점(Harvard Book Store) 직원 추천 도서 100선(Staff’s Favorite 100 Books) & 판매도서 100위(Top 100 Books) A02. 서울대(Seoul University) 권장도서 100 A03. 연세대(Yonsei University) 필독도서 고전 200선 A04. 고려대(Korea University) 세종캠퍼스 권장도서 100선 A05. 서울대·연세대·고려대(SKY University) 공통 권장도서 60권 A06. 성균관대(Sungkyunkwan University) 오거서(五車書) 성균 고전 100선 A07. 경희대(Kyung Hee University) 후마니타스 칼리지(Humanitas College) 교양필독서 100선 A08. 포스텍(포항공대)(POSTECH) 권장도서 100선 A09. 카이스트(KAIST) 독서마일리지제 추천도서 100권 A10. 문학상(Literary Awards) 수상작 및 추천도서(44) A11. 영어고전(English Classics) 오디오북을 무료로 듣는 5가지 방법(How to listen to FREE audio Books legally?)

Read and Download David Huckvale book Poe Evermore in PDF, EPub, Mobi, Kindle online. Full book Poe Evermore. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 221 pages. Book excerpt: Edgar Allan Poe exerted a profound influence on many aspects of 20th century culture, and continues to inspire composers, filmmakers, writers and artists. Popularly thought of as a "horror" writer, Poe was also a philosophical aesthete, a satirist, a hoaxer, a psychologist and a prophet of the anxieties and preoccupations of the modern world. Alphabetically arranged, this book explores Poe's major works both in their own right and in terms of their impact on others, including Baudelaire, who translated his works into French; Debussy, Rachmaninoff and the Alan Parsons' Project, who set them to music; Roger Corman, Federico Fellini and Jean Epstein, who interpreted his visions for film audiences; and television shows such as The Six Million Dollar Man and Time Tunnel, which borrowed his imagery (and, in the case of The Simpsons, sent it up). A wide range of other responses to his compelling Tales of Mystery and Imagination, his poetry and the theoretical writings, combine strongly to suggest that Poe's legacy will indeed last forevermore.

Read and Download Brett Zimmerman book Edgar Allan Poe in PDF, EPub, Mobi, Kindle online. Full book Edgar Allan Poe. This book was released on 2005 with total page 440 pages. Book excerpt: Critics have often charged Edgar Allan Poe with sloppy writing. Using stylistics and classical rhetorical theory, Brett Zimmerman demonstrates that Poe was in fact a brilliant and deliberate lexical technician who varied his prose style according to genre and the world views and the mental health or illness of his narrators. Zimmerman breaks new ground in Poe studies by providing a catalogue of three hundred figures of speech and thought in the author's oeuvre, including his tales, personal correspondence, literary criticism, book reviews, and Marginalia. This incisive catalogue of literary and rhetorical terms, presented in alphabetical order and amply illustrated with examples - in addition to close examinations of some of Poe's most important tales - overwhelmingly demonstrates Poe's rhetorical and linguistic dexterity putting a nearly two-hundred-year-old critical debate to rest by showing Poe to be a conscientious craftsman of the highest order.

Book excerpt: This book analyzes a range of Edgar Allan Poe’s writing, focusing on new readings that engage with classical and (post)modern studies of his work and the troubling literary relationship that he had with T.S. Eliot. Whilst the book examines Poe’s influence in Spain, and how his figure has been marketed to young and adult Spanish reading audiences, it also explores the profound impact that Poe had on other audiences, such as in America, Greece, and Japan, from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The essays attest to Poe’s well-deserved reputation, his worldwide legacy, and his continued presence in global literature. This book will appeal particularly to university teachers, Poe scholars, graduate students, and general readers interested in Poe’s oeuvre.

This book was released on 2022-05-16 with total page 214 pages. Book excerpt: This book builds upon recent theoretical approaches that define queerness as more of a temporal orientation than a sexual one to explore how Edgar Allan Poe's literary works were frequently invested in imagining lives that contemporary readers can understand as queer, as they stray outside of or aggressively reject normative life paths, including heterosexual romance, marriage, and reproduction, and emphasize individuals' present desires over future plans. The book's analysis of many of Poe's best-known works, including "The Raven," "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Black Cat," "The Masque of the Red Death," and "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," show that his attraction to the liberation of queerness is accompanied by demonstrations of extreme anxiety about the potentially terrifying consequences of non-normative choices. While Poe never resolved the conflicts in his thinking, this book argues that this compelling imaginative tension between queerness and temporal normativity is crucial to understanding his canon.

Read and Download Frances Babbage book Adaptation in Contemporary Theatre in PDF, EPub, Mobi, Kindle online. Full book Adaptation in Contemporary Theatre. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 280 pages. Book excerpt: Why are so many theatre productions adaptations of one kind or another? Why do contemporary practitioners turn so frequently to non-dramatic texts for inspiration? This study explores the fascination of novels, short stories, children's books and autobiographies for theatre makers and examines what 'becomes' of literary texts when these are filtered into contemporary practice that includes physical theatre, multimedia performance, puppetry, immersive and site-specific performance and live art. In Adaptation in Contemporary Theatre, Frances Babbage offers a series of fresh critical perspectives on the theory of adaptation in theatre-making, focusing on meditations of prose literature within contemporary performance. Individual chapters explore the significance and impact of books as physical objects within productions; the relationship between the dramatic adaptation and literary edition; storytelling on the page and in performance; literary space and theatrical space; and prose fiction reframed as 'found text' in contemporary theatre and live art. Case studies are drawn from internationally acclaimed companies including Complicite, Elevator Repair Service, Kneehigh, Forced Entertainment, Gob Squad, Teatro Kismet and Stan's Cafe. Adaptation in Contemporary Theatre is a compelling and provocative resource for anyone interested in the potential and the challenges of using prose literature as material for new theatrical performance.

Curl up by the fire with this chilling collection of tales from one of the original masters of mystery and the macabre... 'Meantime the hellish tattoo of the heart increased. It grew quicker and quicker, and louder and louder every instant. The old man's terror must have been extreme! It grew louder, I say, louder every moment! --do you mark me well? I have told you that I am nervous: so I am. And now at the dead hour of the night, amid the dreadful silence of that old house, so strange a noise as this excited me to uncontrollable terror.' The melancholy, brilliance, passionate lyricism and torment of Edgar Allen Poe are all well represented in this timeless collection. Here, in one volume, are his masterpieces of mystery, terror, humour and adventure, including stories such as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, The Black Cat, The Masque of the Red Death, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, and The Pit and the Pendulum, and his finest lyric and narrative poetry -The Ravenand Annabel Lee, to name just a few - that defined American romanticism and secured Poe as one of the most enduring literary voices of the nineteenth century.
