Edgar Allan Poe (1809- 1849) war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Er prägte entscheidend die Gattung der Kurzgeschichte sowie die Genres der Kriminal-, Horror- und Schauerliteratur. Einzelne Erzählungen haben spätere Autoren der Science-Fiction wie Jules Verne beeinflusst. Seine Lyrik, in Europa u. a. von Charles Baudelaire rezipiert, wurde zum Fundament des Symbolismus und damit der modernen Dichtung.

Der namenlose Ich-Erzähler hebt mit einer der für Poe typischen umfangreichen Vorreden an: „Von meiner Heimat und meiner Familie weiß ich wenig zu sagen. Schlimme Erfahrungen und die Länge der Jahre haben mich aus der einen vertrieben, der anderen entfremdet. Ererbter Reichtum verschaffte mir eine ungewöhnliche Bildung, und meine nachdenkliche Sinnesart setzte mich in den Stand, die Schätze des Wissens, die mir durch mein Studium von Jugend auf erworben hatte, in methodische Ordnung zu bringen.“

Der Handlung gehen essayistische Bemerkungen voran, mit denen der Erzähler seine eigene Geschichte einleitet und bekräftigt. Grauenvolle Themen ließen sich nur da literarisch darstellen, „wo Ernst und Majestät der Wahrheit sie heiligen“. Er zählt eine Reihe von Katastrophen wie das Erdbeben zu Lissabon und die Große Pest von London auf, um schließlich zu konstatieren, dass das „furchtbarste Unheil […] den Einzelnen, nicht die Gemeinschaft“ treffe.
