* " The Philosophy of Composition " ( 1846 ) – Essay

A classic definition of a short story is that one should be able to read it in one sitting, a point most notably made in Edgar Allan Poe's essay " The Philosophy of Composition " ( 1846 ).

In " The Philosophy of Composition " ( 1846 ) Poe argued that a literary work should be short enough for a reader to finish in one sitting.

Poe claimed to have written the poem very logically and methodically, intending to create a poem that would appeal to both critical and popular tastes, as he explained in his 1846 follow-up essay " The Philosophy of Composition ".

Though this is not explicitly stated in the poem, it is mentioned in " The Philosophy of Composition ".

In Poe's essay " The Philosophy of Composition " he offers criticism denouncing " the excess of the suggested meaning ... which turns into prose ( and that of the very flattest kind ) the so-called poetry of the so-called transcendentalists.

In addition to the above, he was also the author of the following works: " Fragments of Criticism ," a volume of essays, ( 1860 ); Tables of European Literature and History, A. D. 200-1876 " ( 1876 ) " Tables of Ancient Literature and History ," ( 1877 ); " English Composition ," a literature primer, ( 1879 ); " Questions on English Composition ," ( 1890 ); and two volumes on " Lord Bacon's Life and Philosophy " for Black's Series of Philosophical Writers, ( 1887 – 89 ).

In the end, then, it is Poe who " punishes with impunity " by not taking credit for his own literary revenge and by crafting a concise tale ( as opposed to a novel ) with a singular effect, as he had suggested in his essay " The Philosophy of Composition ".
