The Inner Oblong in the 19th Century
GLASSWERKS, The Writer and Man, Evemore is a useful commentary abut the author and plagiarism in the 19th Century. He writes fitfully of living again. It must have been difficult to create while all those around the author created their versions of his dreams. All right, after all it is a tall order to put all of the pieces back together again. Little girls are complicated – as are all little boys. The King’s objects would have been as complex as the work of fiction; those little boys and little girls and flowers, if you will.
I have been working on an animated bio of POE‘s life and find it more and, ever more, so dense. Mind you, I’m involved more in the bio than the stories (though some of the stories are of an integral nature to the biographies)
I stupidly should have tried researching there to start with, and I’ll go to the short tales the next moment I can attend. I see all there in front of me. What a fool I can be; I found all of the material independent of the rest and forced it like a giant jigsaw into the whole I have.
