"A Tale of the Ragged Mountains" is a fantastical short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. Set near the University of Virginia at Charlottesville (where Poe had spent a year), it is the only one of his stories to take place in Virginia.
Poe rushed to complete the story in time and later admitted that the conclusion was imperfect. [2] Shortly after Poe's story " The Murders in the Rue Morgue " was translated into French without acknowledgment, French readers sought out other works by Poe, of which "A Descent into the Maelström" was amongst the earliest translated.
"Eldorado" was one of Poe's last poems. As Poe scholar Scott Peeples wrote, the poem is "a fitting close to a discussion of Poe's career." [6] Like the subject of the poem, Poe was on a quest for success or happiness and, despite spending his life searching for it, he eventually loses his strength and faces death. [6]
The region provided the atmospheric setting for Edgar Allan Poe's short story, "A Tale of the Ragged Mountains", which described it as a "chain of wild and dreary hills." Poe was familiar with the area from his days as a student at the University of Virginia. The Ragged Mountain Natural Area was established in 1997 and opened to the public in 1999.
Poe's friend Thomas Holley Chivers said "Israfil" comes the closest to matching Poe's ideal of the art of poetry. [32] "Israfel" varies in meter; however, it contains mostly iambic feet, complemented by end rhyme in which several of the lines in each stanza rhyme together. Poe also uses frequent alliteration within each line in any given stanza.
