The William Wilson effect; Magical architecture and chiastic echoes; Emblems of mournful and never-ending remembrance -- Conclusion : reclaiming irredeemable loss -- Appendix ("The raven"). 330 $aWhile 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. 606 $aMemory in literature 606 $aChiasmus 606 $aMelancholy in literature 606 $aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMemory in literature. 615 0$aChiasmus. 615 0$aMelancholy in literature. 615 0$aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.) 676 $a813/.309 700 $aEngel$b William E.$f1957-$0932592 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457530803321 996 $aEarly modern poetics in Melville and Poe$92098666 997 $aUNINA
