| Abstract | ||
| In "The Philosophy of Composition" Poe writes that the death of a beautiful woman is the most poetical subject in the world. This perverse and personal opinion is the outcome of tragedies in his life. Poe was deeply attached to various beautiful women who died young, leaving him obsessed with his need of woman and fear of death and annihilation. The study traces the nature of Poe's relation with woman and his notion of her death as reflected in his aesthetic theory and poetry. The poems chosen in this study are notable for their tone of sorrow after the death of a beautiful beloved which becomes a predominant motif in Poe's literary output. | ||
