Reseña del libro "Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque"

The epithets "Grotesque" and "Arabesque" will be found to indicate with sufficient precision the prevalent tenor of the tales here published. But from the fact that, during a period of some two or three years, I have written five-and-twenty short stories whose general character may be so briefly defined, it cannot be fairly inferred--at all events it is not truly inferred--that I have, for this species of writing, any inordinate, or indeed any peculiar taste or prepossession. I may have written with an eye to this republication in volume form, and may, therefore, have desired to preserve, as far as a certain point, a certain unity of design. This is, indeed, the fact; and it may even happen that, in this manner, I shall never compose anything again. I speak of these things here, because I am led to think it is this prevalence of the "Arabesque" in my serious tales, which has induced one or two critics to tax me, in all friendliness, with what they have been pleased to term "Germanism" and gloom. The charge is in bad taste, and the grounds of the accusation have not been sufficiently considered. Let us admit, for the moment, that the "phantasy-pieces" now given are Germanic, or what not. Then Germanism is "the vein" for the time being.

Edgar Allan Poe (Boston, Estados Unidos, 1809-1849) fue un célebre escritor estadounidense, considerado maestro del relato corto y renovador de la narrativa gótica. Su obra, marcada por el misterio y el terror, incluye títulos emblemáticos como El cuervo (1845), que lo inmortalizó, y poemas y relatos innovadores que influyeron en géneros como el policial y la ciencia ficción. Además de su producción literaria, Poe destacó como crítico y teórico, especialmente con su ensayo La filosofía de la composición (1846). Su legado sigue vivo y ha inspirado la literatura, el cine, la música y el arte hasta nuestros días.
