Salvator R.Tarnmoor's mnemonic itinerary; Allegories of decay and the decay of allegory; Mime and masquerade in the theatrum mundi -- Poe's mirrored memory palaces. The William Wilson effect; Magical architecture and chiastic echoes; Emblems of mournful and never-ending remembrance -- Conclusion : reclaiming irredeemable loss -- Appendix ("The raven").While other scholars have remarked on the influence of seventeenth-century literature on Melville and Poe, Engel is the first to explore how their close readings of early modern texts influenced their compositional practice. Rather than simply offering an account of what these authors read, Engel focuses principally on the overlapping rhetorical and iconic assumptions of the Art of Memory and its relation to chiasmus in order to illustrate the authors' profound debt to the past.Memory, melancholy, and the emblematic traditionMemory in literatureChiasmusMelancholy in literatureInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)Memory in literature.Chiasmus.Melancholy in literature.Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.)813/.309Engel William E.1957-,1551414MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779066903321Early modern poetics in Melville and Poe3810899UNINA
