"The Tell-Tale Heart" is simultaneously a horror story and psychological thriller told from a first-person perspective. Poe is now considered a forefather of two literary genres, detective stories and science fiction, and is regarded as an important writer of psychological thrillers and horror. Other critics, like George Woodberry in his 1885 study of Poe, considered "The Tell-Tale Heart" merely a "tale of conscience." But this simplistic view has changed over the years as more complex views of Poe and his works have emerged. While "The Tell-Tale Heart" and his other short stories were not critically acclaimed during his lifetime, Poe earned respect among his peers as a competent writer, insightful literary critic, and gifted poet, particularly after the publication of his famous poem, "The Raven," in 1845.Īfter Poe's death in 1849, some critics faulted his obsession with dark and depraved themes. The story is a psychological portrait of a mad narrator who kills a man and afterward hears his victim's relentless heartbeat. One of Edgar Allan Poe's most famous short stories, "The Tell-Tale Heart," was first published in the January, 1843 edition of James Russell Lowell's The Pioneer and was reprinted in the Augissue of The Broadway Journal. |
