Edgar Allan Poe – pahan ilman lintu sammakkolammen rannalla 1809 -1849 Jos Poe oli Aleksis Kivi, oli Rufus Wilmot Griswold hänen August Ahlqvistinsa. Uuden Englannin kirjallisuuspiirien ulkopuolinen etelävaltiolainen (Bostonista orpona virginialaiseen perheeseen adoptoitu), joka haukkui transsendentalisteja ”sammakkolampelaisiksi” (Frogpondians) Boston Common – puiston lammen mukaan. (Transsendentalisteihin kuuluivat filosofi-kirjailija-aktivistit Ralph Waldo Emerson ja Henry David Thoreau sekä Louisa May Alcott isänsä Amos Bronson Alcottin kanssa). Väärinymmärretyn neron prototyyppi, populaarikulttuurin lemmikki; varhaisiin ymmärtäjiin kuului Baudelaire Ranskassa (vrt. 1900 -luvun elokuvan Hitchcockin ja Truffaut´n suhde). Lyhyen ilmaisun mestari (lyriikka, novellit), mutta myös tieteisromaanin pioneeri (The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantuckett, 1837 -8) sekä kriitikko ja esseisti. Saksalaisesta gotiikasta innoittunut kauhufiktion mestari sekä ensimmäisten modernien ”whodunnit”-tyyppisten salapoliisikertomusten isä. Teemoina syyllisyys nuorena kuolleen rakastetun kohtalosta (oma vaimo kuoli nuorena tuberkuloosiin). Kuvan osoite: https: //encrypted-tbn 0. gstatic. com/images? q=tbn: ANd 9 Gc. Qsypw. Bgt 3 Bh.

Melvillen valkoiset painajaisnäyt Projections of Otherness On a white screen Though in many natural objects, whiteness refiningly enhances beauty, as if imparting some special virtue of its own, as in marbles, japonicas, and pearls; [. . . ]. and though this pre-eminence in it applies to the human race itself, giving the white man ideal mastership over every dusky tribe; [. . . ] yet for all these accumulated associations, with whatever is sweet, and honorable, and sublime, there yet lurks an elusive something in the innermost idea of this hue, which strikes more of panic to the soul than that redness which affrights in blood.

The birth of a dema gogue What is your whale? Whaler = lyncher? I think Melville understood that Ahab's genius was his insight into the fact that all of them felt that they, too, had been wounded by the world. I think we all feel that we've in some way been mistreated or missed a chance or somebody else has gotten something that we deserved. Ahab taps into that feeling, and brings them around so that they become as intent on hunting down and killing that whale as he is. -Andrew Delbanco, author of a 2005 Melville biography Image source: https: //shoppeblack. com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ct-when-birth-of-anation-showed-at-the-white-house-20150205. jpg "Schlüsselthemen der Anglistik und Amerikanistik / Key Topics in English and American Studies“
