"In 1930, Aldous Huxley refuted early acclaim of Poe in "Vulgarity in Literature", a critique that accused him of producing mechanical rhythms and writing in egregiously bad taste." --Encyclopedia of Gothic Literature, Mary Ellen Snodgrass, 2014 "Het is de maatschappelike toepassing van een idee door Wilde uitgedrukt vóór Huxley, door Huysmans (in A Rebours) vóór Wilde, en door Edgar Poe (in The Domain of Arnheim) vóór Huysmans. Het leven kopieert de kunst inplaats van andersom." --E. du Perron "We who are speakers of English and not English scholars, who were born into the language and from childhood pickled in its literature - we can only say, with all due respect, that Baudelaire, Mallarmé and Valéry are wrong and that Poe is not one of our major poets." |
