Hallo,
vielleicht hilft dir das hier weiter:
For Poe, in “Philosophy of Composition” as elsewhere, literary design begins with the idea of effect, an effect or impression on the reader that should be both “novel” and “vivid.” Poe repeatedly emphasizes that this effect needs to be “universally appreciable,” that it should “suit at once the popular and the critical taste.” Poe deigns to discuss “the circumstance—or say the necessity” of universal appeal, but at least part of the reason has to do with the nature of the literary market of the time. In any event, two of Poe’s most important critical emphases emerge out of his focus on effect. First is his focus on the central importance of “unity of impression” in an artwork. Throughout his critical work, Poe returns to this point, a point (as we will see later in this course) that leads him to view the short story as a superior art form to the novel. What Poe means by unity of impression is that every element of the poem (or short story) should work towards creating the same effect in the reader. This emphasis on unity leads Poe to two of his more curious ideas. First is his emphasis on extent, the idea that any artwork, in order to maintain such unity, must be consumable in one sitting. This limit is particular true for the poem, for its chief effect lies in “elevating the spirit,” an effect that, due to “psychal necessity,” can only be maintained for a brief period of time. The second point follows, that, despite centuries of criticism to the contrary, there is no such thing as a long poem. Thus any epic, such as Milton’s Paradise Lost (an example he uses here and elsewhere) is not truly a poem but at best a series of poems interspersed among more prosaic moments.
