Biography, Intentionality, and Interpretation: Poe and "The Murders in the Rue Morgue"
Abstract:This essay describes the author's classroom discussion of authorship and biography, focusing on Edgar Allan Poe; then it considers the difference between the approaches taken in scholarly essays on "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" and those employed in the classroom (reflected both in the author's class and in two pedagogical essays on "Rue Morgue"). The essay concludes by advocating an intertextual approach to biography and interpretation; following Ed White's pedagogical article on "Rue Morgue," the author advocates placing more emphasis on authorial agency both in the classroom and in literary scholarship.
