“After reading Edgar Allan Poe. Something the critics have not noticed: a new literary world pointing to the literature of the 20th Century. Scientific miracles, fables on the pattern A+ B, a clear-sighted, sickly literature. No more poetry but analytic fantasy. Something monomaniacal. Things playing a more important part than people; love giving away to deductions and other forms of ideas, style, subject and interest. The basis of the novel transferred from the heart to the head, from the passion to the idea, from the drama to the denouement.” PeopleWorldGivingHeartImportantIdeasFormPassionReadingLiteratureInterestFantasyNovelClearSubjectsCenturyStyleDramaBasesMiracleCriticsPatterns20th CenturyPointingFablesAnalyticsDeductionsAllan PoeDenouement Author:Jules de Goncourt
