Literature: the rigid consequence of a mathematical problem in contrast to spontaneous creation:

Length, Unity of Effect, Logical method, Beauty

Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 - October 7, 1849) was an American writer. He wrote several short stories (e.g. The Fall of the House of Usher), worked as an editor and critic and became famous for his macabre stories and poems – often nowadays these are called eco-macabre. On January 29, 1845, his poem “The Raven” was published in the Evening Mirror. It made Poe famous and is known as his greatest achievement in poetry.

In April 1846 “The Raven” was discussed in Poe’s essay “The Philosophy of Composition” which appeared in Graham’s Magazine and started a big discussion among the “Society of writing”. Because of its logical and almost mathematical explaining for any detail of a fiction work some suggested the essay was meant as a satire or hoax because nobody, not even Poe himself, would create a poem this way.

Poe always created the metrical patterns carefully. He compared the technique of verse to that of music. According to him the melody of a song is what the effect is for a poem.

In “The Philosophy of Composition” which stands out for Poe’s ambition for elaborateness he implied that writing a poem was only a methodical process, like solving a mathematical problem. Moreover his essay states that a work should only be written after the author has decided how it has to end and more important which emotional response, Poe calls it the “effect”, is wished to reach. To underline his theory Poe took his poem “The Raven” and points out in detail how for example the theme, the setting, the characters and the plot have to be created to get a perfect poem.
