to me that narrative style and setting have a great deal to do with the development of Poe's short stories, I also realize now that we can't overlap and intertwine with other aspects of the story, making them equally as important. I will end with a quote found in Vincent Buranelli's Edgar Allan Poe: "Even though Poe is often looked upon as a gifted psychopath who is describing with consummate artistry his personal instabilities and abnormalities the fact remains that his superiority is more than a matter of art. There is a violent realism in his macabre writings unequaled by the Americans who worked in the same genre." Bibliography1. S. Barnet, W. Burto, M. Berman, W. Cain.
