01:41What's wrong, Mr. Poe?
01:44I want to get out of here
01:48Sure
01:50As soon as you get better
01:54It's too dark in here
01:58Dark
02:00And cold
02:02As a grave
02:04You're suffering from a very high fever, Mr. Poe
02:08I'll ask the nurse to get you another blanket, okay?
02:16As is well known, it was Baudelaire who rediscovered the work of Poe, condemned by his contemporaries and Puritan compatriots as a superficial author,
02:24too formalist in poetry, too vulgar in narrative,
02:27But above all condemned for his disorderliness and immoderation in life
02:31Baudelaire's first essay on Poe dates back to 1852.
02:35Like all great writers or like all great geniuses, to use a word in vogue in the early nineteenth century
02:40Romantic, Poe was ahead of his time and for this reason he was initially misunderstood and opposed.
02:46He was ahead of his time in the sense that he prefigured trends and themes of late nineteenth-century literature, which is commonly
02:52we label it as decadent literature.
02:54Poe invented literary genres, the detective story and the modern gold, and writing styles such as poetic phonosymbolism which
03:01they will only become fashionable 50 or 100 years later.
03:04Poe was also the first writer to try to live solely on the proceeds of his writing, but he was opposed and
03:10hampered by a serious crisis that hit publishing at his time and by the lack of an international law on
03:15copyright.
03:16British publishers often printed works by American writers without paying them for their work. The sector was then particularly affected by the
03:25so-called Panic of 1837, a very serious economic crisis.
03:30The periodical sector was actually growing due to technological innovations in printing, but many of these did not
03:36went beyond a couple of issues, so the publishers either didn't pay the writers or paid them a lot
03:41delay.
03:42Due to these reasons too, he may end up having to ask for money or other things at many points in his life.
