Granting the lack of research into Poe's impact on the Hellenic literary world, the note discusses \"Ἱστορία ἑνὸς σκύλου\" (\"The Story of a Dog\") published by Rhoides in 1893, which bears clear but unexplored similarities to Poe's \"The Black Cat.\" The Greek story was printed alongside \"Η Ιστορία μιας Γάτας,\" a tale that has already been linked to the same Poe story in terms of content and structure. This comparison makes clear the extensive interest that Rhoides had in \"The Black Cat,\" and argues that the writer who introduced the American author's work in Greece was influenced by and used Poe's satire techniques in this and other tales. Finally, the note calls for additional, broader study of Poe's impact on modern Greek writing.","PeriodicalId":40986,"journal":{"name":"Edgar Allan Poe Review","volume":"22 1","pages":"343 - 352"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46755877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dern","doi":"10.5325/edgallpoerev.22.2.0312","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5325/edgallpoerev.22.2.0312","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Like the Saxon king Alfred the Great, the narrator of \"The Tell-Tale Heart\" hears \"with both his ears.\" However, whereas Alfred's chronicler, Bishop Asser, describes Alfred's talent for listening as a complement to the king's eager rationality, the narrator of \"The Tell-Tale Heart,\" who also hears \"with both his ears,\" is eager but not rational. He characterizes his acute hearing as a happy byproduct of an unnamed \"disease,\" arguing that it validates his claim of sanity, but his hearing is actually a vehicle for Poe's irony. While drawing on prior criticism, this article stresses how Poe's artistic control throughout the tale undermines the narrator's pretense of self-control. Thus, where the narrator calmly claims that mysterious vibrations from an old man's \"Evil Eye\" drove him to murder, Poe ironically emphasizes that sound is the character's undoing, ultimately producing a kind of aural nausea that the narrator re-experiences in the present as he tells an unidentified auditor how he murdered the old man. This nausea is what caused him to spew forth his confession of murder for the police originally and what causes him to do so again in the telling of events for his auditor. Poe particularly displays his artistic control with repetitions, rhetorically mocking the narrator's claim that heightened hearing demonstrates his sanity through the text's insistently repeated versions of the word \"ear,\" but he also displays his control through the rhetorical device of deixis, which derides the storyteller's inability to separate the narratorial past from the narratorial present.","PeriodicalId":40986,"journal":{"name":"Edgar Allan Poe Review","volume":"22 1","pages":"312 - 328"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43666547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If one is interested, however, in the story of a given text, it is often necessary to seek out and personally examine an original printing. Even photocopies and facsimiles obscure details of construction that can be revelatory in terms of small details about the creation of a particular printing. In the present article, I have made some examination of this kind for the last and first printings of Poe's works in book form: the 1850 collection edited by Rufus Wilmot Griswold and the collection of Poe's poetry prepared in Boston in 1827. This article records my process of discovery, as well as documenting my findings and some of the conclusions that may be drawn from them.","PeriodicalId":40986,"journal":{"name":"Edgar Allan Poe Review","volume":"22 1","pages":"353 - 378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43185520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the confessional nature of the story shifts—via a trauma reading—from an attempt by the narrator to ease his guilt to his attempt to understand what happened to him. \"The Black Cat\" reveals a man's search to understand how he committed violent acts when trauma and preconceived self-understandings obscure his ability to reconcile his violent actions. The narrator's murder of his wife traumatized him, causing erasures in the timeline and several forms of dissociation. These erasures and dissociations cause an uncanny effect within the story, which show the narrator to be his own doppelganger as well as an instance of the biform. However, these symptoms suggest that the narrator does not have enough critical distance from the events, so telling his tale becomes a form of reliving that does not relieve the confusion he experiences. Ultimately, the narrator's confession does not provide the understanding he hopes for, which places the burden of creating an understanding of the story on the individual reader.","PeriodicalId":40986,"journal":{"name":"Edgar Allan Poe Review","volume":"22 1","pages":"329 - 342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43390765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
