Table of ContentsReviews"“In Poe’s wake, Elmer shows, are to be found some of the most haunting and exhilarating formal experiments of the last two centuries, from symbolist poetry to graphic art. Elmer’s engrossing study affirms Poe’s place as a key aesthetic resource for the present.” * Emily Ogden, author of ""On Not Knowing"" * “In Poe’s Wake is a deft, surprising, fun, and insightful dash through the arsenal of special effects created by Poe and elaborated by his avatars. Elmer’s brief yet potent book pinpoints those aspects of his poems, tales, and critical theory which form a compact and flexible toolbox for modern aesthetic invention. This lively, humorous (and sometimes lurid) cross-disciplinary romp reveals how Poe has been taken up and reconfigured by a veritable who’s who of literature, music, cinema, and visual art.” * John Tresch, author of ""The Reason for the Darkness of the Night"" * “My advice to the reader of this wonderful book? Read chapter 2 before everything else. That’s where Elmer shows, in salient graphic terms, how Poe’s dark and hilarious world opened (and still opens) doors to visions of the kingdoms of heaven and hell. Then you’ll be set to read everything else here in the same spirit that the author has writ.” * Jerome McGann, author of ""The Poet Edgar Allan Poe"" *" Author InformationJonathan Elmer is professor of English at Indiana University. He is author of Reading at the Social Limit: Affect, Mass Culture, and Edgar Allan Poe and On Lingering and Being Last: Race and Sovereignty in the New World.
