Edgar Allan Poe, “The Gold-Bug”

The most popular and most widely read of Poe’s works during his lifetime

 

The story (1843), set on Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, is often compared with Poe’s “tales of ratiocination” as an early form of detective fiction. It was an instant success and was the most popular and most widely read of Poe’s works during his lifetime. It also helped popularize cryptograms and secret writing.

 

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American short-story writer, poet, critic, and editor who is famous for his cultivation of mystery and the macabre. His tale The Murders in the Rue Morgue (1841) initiated the modern detective story, and the atmosphere in his tales of horror is unrivaled in American fiction.

Poe’s work owes much to the concern of Romanticism with the occult and the satanic. It owes much also to his own feverish dreams, to which he applied a rare faculty of shaping plausible fabrics out of impalpable materials. With an air of objectivity and spontaneity, his productions are closely dependent on his own powers of imagination and an elaborate technique.
