Poe and the Visual Arts by Barbara CantalupoISBN: 9780271063096
Publication Date: 2014-05-15
Poe and the Visual Arts is the first comprehensive study of how Poe's work relates to the visual culture of his time. Barbara Cantalupo examines the ways in which Poe integrated visual art into sketches, tales, and literary criticism, paying close attention to the sculptures and paintings he saw in books, magazines, and museums while living in Philadelphia and New York from 1838 until his death in 1849. She argues that Poe's sensitivity to visual media gave his writing a distinctive "graphicality".
