Podcast appearances and mentions of Edgar Poe

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity - This is Episode 413 - AI for a Heat StrokeNow I know that up til now - I have basically been giving you fanciful examples of what might go into a prompt for some imaginary purposes - Edgar Poe applying for a job at a pet rental company or Edgar Poe 6th and Emily Dickinson 6th writing a book - that was DEFINITELY role playing with imaginary characters - I don't know of any reliable source that said Poe had any children - not so sure about Emily Dickinson, but I doubt it - guess I need to check with Gemini. Anyway, today I would like to deal with an all too real story that illustrates the use of a prompt in a real-life, health situation - no imaginary characters.I am accustomed to being outside - used to be a Marathon runner, but yesterday I was walking the distance from the local McDonald's. (about a half a mile) to my apartment. When I got home, I was covered with sweat and was having what appears to be a heat stroke. I was not experienced at all with this kind of thing, and my other half suggested that I simply ask my AI about the situation.  It might be a good idea before and if I go to a doctor to find out any immediate suggestions. Note the prompt that I gave Gemini. I admit that it is a bit wordy, but I wanted to give all the details because like any prompt the more information you give it, the better answer it can give you.  And I apologize, if the prompt seems a bit crude, but I wanted to show the importance of being honest with an AI if you expect an appropriate answer.  Besides this is a medical situation.So I started with:Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity episode 411 - poe and EmilyIn this episode, I want to take another look at an AI prompt that is basically an example of role-playing - see if you can follow the ebb and flow of the concepts. I do a podcast where I am introducing some AI principles - such as the purpose of a prompt.  In this rather outlandish example, I want to do a faux prompt or example prompt to a publisher regarding Edgar Allan poe's most popular work during his lifetime The Conchologist's First Book and that is a fact.First, could you sum up the book in 200 words - and by the way - for purposes of this podcast episode, I am going to try and use my voice as George, and a voice with a southern accent to represent an artificial intelligence version of Edgar Poe-  hopefully that will give you a chance to know which party is speaking - It's interesting that you consider The Conchologist's First Book to be my most popular work during his lifetime. While it was indeed published under my name, it was largely a compilation and adaptation of Thomas Brown's work and was intended as a textbook. I admit that I most likely took on the project for financial reasons. My more enduring popular successes during my lifetime were my short stories and poems like "The Raven."Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 386 - What Did Whitman Sound Like, 1In previous years, I have always done episodes about Walt Whitman simply by talking about his life. I did not use the format of me talking in the first person, and asking questions from Walt Whitman because I simply didn't know where to start regarding the topic of what did Walt Whitman sound like.  There is a controversial recording of what may have been Whitman's voice, but it is a very poor quality and isn't much help at all.So I decided to use perplexity AI in finding out information about Walt Whitman's voice - what he may have sounded like and how I could get the spirit of that across and a podcast. So I started with this prompt - and note that - and this is something I will say over and over again - you need to give a lot of information in your prompt to an AI bot even if it doesn't seem necessary to get a good response. This is my prompt regarding getting the qualities for Walt Whitman's voice, and I apologize for the length. - but you really need to try and be thorough.I do a podcast called celebrate Poe about the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe. It has had almost 400 episodes and downloads in more than 100 countries and territories. The format is that I interview the imaginary ghost of Edgar Allan Poe regarding his works and life. Of course I use my voice as the interviewer, and a Southern Voice as Edgar Poe. I used to be a historical re-enactor as Poe, and use a deep southern drawl - one that most authorities believe that Edgar Poe would've used, being from Richmond and not influenced by such sources as television, movies, and the Internet. And I am from Staunton Virginia, so a southern draw is not hard for me. Now fo pride month - june - and maybe longer - I am playing the part of an interviewer while interviewing the the imaginary ghost of Walt Whitman - using my natural voice and Walt Whitman responding in the first person. My question is do you have any advice on coming up with a voice to represent Walt Whitman for the podcast? Of course this is purely for audio, so I can contort my face all kinds of positions - but what qualities should I go for in coming up with a Voice for Walt WhitmanThank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Send us a textWelcome to celebrate Poe - episode 381 - Edgar Poe Explains the Raven.Sorry if I gave you the wrong idea in the previous episode, but in this episode I want to delve more into Poe's most famous work.GHOST SOUNDHello Mr. PoeGreetings Mr. BartleyVery welcome to see you today Mr. Poe.  I was just saying that I wanted to deal into your most famous work in today's podcast episode.Oh Mr. Bartley that would have to be the Raven. We certainly talked about the poem in the previous episode, but I welcome another chance to deal to the work.Maybe a good place to start Mr. Poe would be just for you to explain the importance of the ravenAh Mr. Bartley, The Raven can best be described As a profound meditation on human suffering and mortality. The poem explores how grief can consume an individual's rationality and sense of self. The poem's haunting refrain, "Nevermore," encapsulates not just the narrator's despair but also the universal finality of loss that all must confront. Through vivid imagery, Gothic symbolism, and psychological depth, I attempted to create an enduring work that resonates with readers' own experiences of sorrow and longing.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Send us a textMr. Bartley - plain fontMr. Poe - italics fontWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 376 - A Crawling ShapeIn this episode, I would like to slightly change the subject to early Gothic novels such as The Castle of Otrano - literature that most scholars believed influenced Edgar Poe's works.Ah, Mr. Bartley - I know that some scholars have said that I must have been familiar with the The Castle of Otranto from 1764, which many have said was the first Gothic novel,and influenced such individuals as Ann Radcliffe and Mary Shelley, whose works I greatly admired and even referenced. My own Gothic tales, such as The Fall of the House of Usher, share thematic and stylistic elements with Walpole's work, including haunted settings, supernatural events, and psychological terror.Ah yes, Mr. Poe - what about E.T.A. Hoffman?Ah, Mr. Bartley, Mr. Hoffman definitely influenced my works - due to hisuse of first-person narratives and exploration of madness, align with techniques pioneered in Otranto.  And I must point out how Otranto's Gothic tropes - —haunted castles, doomed aristocrats, and supernatural Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - What Is Gothic - Episode 373 - the first of a extended series of podcasts - at least 10 podcasts under the general subject title of Poe and Gothic literature.This podcast episode begins with a few bars of  “Come Rest in this Bosom.”  Very calm, peaceful, and relaxing - and a medley that one of Edgar Poe's  beaus said was his favorite.  You might say that such a relaxing melody is all the things that Gothic is not.  And that leads me to one of the subjects of the next few episodes - What does Gothic mean?Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 362 - Poetry and DreamsI was looking through articles about Poe to find information for a future article regarding why do so many people read Edgar Allan Poe. And I found some great stuff and certainly will be writing an episode or two about that subject. But I found an article that said that more Americans - almost 3/4 - are familiar with Edgar Poe - more than any other poet.  Shakespeare is second.Now  this was the episode where I wanted to start some episodes on Bram Stoker - but it turns out there is a poetry workshop that is rather time sensitive, so I better get this out now.You see, on Thursday, April 24 there will be a free workshop from the Academy of American Poets online at YouTube - no charge at all, tho I doubt they would turn down donations.  All you need to do is register, and again, it is free. I have the URL on my Buzzsprout transcript and show notes - but in case you can't  remember URLS - I can't - it is https//poets.org/gala/2025 - - again, it is free - all you need to do is register in advance.  The readers include people such as Christine Baranski, Stephen King, Tony Kusher, Fran Lebowitz, and Lawrence O'Donnell - among others.Just wanted to be sure that you got the info about what is called Poetry and the Creative Mind - again, to be held on Thursday, April 24.By the way, Meryl Streep is extremely active in Poetry and the Creative Mind, and has read works by Elizabeth Bishop, Sylvia Plath, and Walt Whitman in programs across multiple years.By the way, poets.org.gala.2025 will take you to the registration page as well.For the rest of this episode, I would like to delve into several of Edgar Poe's poems that deal with dreams.  The three poems are Dreams, A Dream, and A Dream Within a Dream, and Dreamland - and boy, are they easy to mix up.  So take them in order considering the number of words in the title - I know it sounds simplistic but stay with me because it makes things soooo much easier.  And I am not going to include the poem Dreamland until the end of this podcast  - It is (in my opinion, a poem that is in a class by yourself.)Think 1, 2, and 5 - words that is -The title of Dreams is just one word, the title of A Dream is two words, and the title of the shortest and most mature work - A Dream Within a Dream is 5 words. Dreams and A Dream were both published in 1827 and A Dream Within a Dream was published in 1849 - the year of Edgar Poe's earthly demise.Let me say that again - The title of Dreams is just one word, the title of A Dream is two words, and the title of the most mature work - A Dream Within a Dream is 5 words. Dreams and A Dream were both published in 1827 and A Dream Within a Dream was published in 1849.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 359 - Vampires and the Last SupperWhen I started this podcast, I assumed the topics of the Last Supper and Easter would have nothing to do with anything related to Poe - oh sure, we do have evidence that the Allans attended the Anglican - or Episcopal Church in Richmond - but basically we don't really thing of anything related to religion when we think of Edgar Poe.I know I had said the we would soon delve into Bram Stoker's Dracula - but reality has a way of causing you to change your plans, and so this podcast will be definitely delving into Bram Stoker's Dracula for several episodes next week.  For Easter this year, I did 3 episodes that tied the subject of vampires to the Christian church - and I feel the episodes are very respectful and not at all sacrilegious.And when I first delved into the topic vampires - in preparation for Poe's vampiric stories - I never thought that there would be any connection - however perverted - between, say, communion and vampires.But the more research I did, the more I saw that there was a perverted comparison between the blood demands of a vampire and the truly sacred blood and love of Christ.  Such a comparison offers a fascinating exploration of opposing spiritual and existential themes - of good and evil. Both concepts revolve around the symbolism of blood as a source of life, but they diverge in their purpose and moral implications. And let me apologize in advance - some of the ideas in this podcast might come across as a bit dense and even hard to take, but stick with me.   So the next three podcast episodes will actually deal with Holy Week.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - my name is George Bartley, and this is episode 358 - Pre Dracula 2 or Calling Me By Your Name.The title of this episode - Calling Me By Your Name - is a variation on a phrase -  Call Me By Your Name - taken from the text of a letter written to Walt Whitman by one of Whitman's admirers - none other than Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula.Now remember that Edgar Poe proceeded Bram Stoker, and never specifically used the word vampire in his works, but Poe wrote five stories between 1835 and 1842 that in many ways form the basis for many of his prose works - and all those works deal with the undead.  Those stories are Berenice, Morella, Ligeia, The Fall of the House of Usher, and The Oval Portrait.  In all these tales, Poe writes about the essentially vampiric nature of human relationships - the love that persists beyond the grave. Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - episode 331 - The Year Without a Summer, Part TwoIn the previous episode, I talked about the basic background behind the eruption of Mount Tamboro - but in this episode I would like to delve into not only the volcanic eruption, but the literary effects - especially the Gothic influences on Edgar Poe.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - my name is George Bartley and this is episode 321 - Answer to ListenerThe intro music was Come Rest in This Bosom - said to be Edgar Poe's favorite song.  I'd like to start with a whooper of an apology - last month - yes, last month - I got a kind message with my podcast episode on my iPhone - I was so elated that I did an entire episode in response to the individual's comments - but I was moving some files around and promptly lost it - I had foolishly named it Attend to This - which of course made it impossible to find.  Well, just a few minutes ago I was trying to clean up my Mac desktop, opened a file named Attend to This - and saw in was the podcast script I wrote in response to the message - So before I loose it again, this episode is a response to that message.  And thanks for your patience.The message read:Thank you for this podcast, Mr. Bartley. It's a refreshing look at Poe's life and times. I just now finished John Allen's will episode. I'm pro Poe and no matter what he did, I believe that Mr. Allan was wrong to not leave him anything in his will.  perhaps he thought Poe would accomplish more if he had to do it on his own? Perhaps we would not have the soulful poems poe left us? I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this matter?  5 stars (For privacy purposes I am not going to say the person's name - you never know.)Well, thank you for writing.  And the person gave me 5 stars.  Thank you.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

We do, and both of the stories you are about to hear have been requested a number of times. If there is a vintage science fiction story you'd like to hear send us an email, scott@lostscifi.com. He was born Edgar Poe in Boston in 1809, orphaned at the age of 2 and taken in by a wealthy merchant, John Allan and his wife, Francis. And that's how he came to be known as Edgar Allan Poe. John Allan did not adopt Poe and that's why he didn't take Allan as his last name. Let's travel back in time 182 years to January 1843. Our story was first published in The Pioneer, The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe…Up next, a story published 9 months earlier, in Graham's Magazine in April 1842, The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, All the logical answers to Charcot's escape and disappearances had come up... but why should an escaped convict be logical?

Send us a textI guess you could say I unconsciously (or maybe even consciously) devoted at least 11 or 12 of the previous episodes reading the complete version of the original The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - because the movie Wicked is currently popular. Then I considered the movie A Complete Unknown about the great Bob Dylan.   But the problem was that I didn't think there was ANY connection between Edgar Poe and Bob Dylan - none at all.But I did some more research, and found out that WAS an amazing association between the two literary geniuses.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 288 - Election Conflict, Part 1You are probably sick and tired of hearing and reading about election conflicts and disagreements - I know that I am.  But in this episode, the ghost of Mr. Poe and I would like to take you back to a rather dramatic and controversial Presidential election that most historians believe Edgar Poe would have known about.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - this is episode 287 - Poe's Views on Democracy and Donald Trump.When I started this weekly podcast over 4 years ago, my original intentions were to keep Poecentric - meaning only about the works, times, and life of America's Shakespeare - that grew to some of the literary influences on his works.  Even though I have strong religious and political beliefs,, I wanted to concentrate on Edgar Poe as much as possible.  But for this election season, I could not resist dealing with what Poe might have felt about American politics - utilizing how the writer felt about democracy and demagogues in the 19th century.In this podcast, I would like to talk with Mr. Poe about his views of government - and especially about what he might have thought about the specter of Donald Trump.   I had previously been under the impression that Edgar Allan Poe was somewhat reactionary in his political positions - coming from a wealthy and rather privileged background in the South -  but after doing a great deal of research, I was surprised at how nuanced his views toward democracy actually were.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - this is episode 286 - an examination from a contemporary standpoint of one of Edgar Poe's most famous stories - The Pit and the Pendulum.  And as you will hear very soon, this episode also marks the return of the Ghost of Mr. Poe.Even tho The Pit and the Pendulum story was first published in 1842, the tale certainly has the elements of any great story - the dynamics of the tale are not necessarily confined to any specific historical period.  Much of Greek and Roman mythology, Shakespeare, and any great literature deals with human emotions that could be found in any era.  Poe's works are no different.So for this conclusion to episodes dealing with historical speeches and poems about democracy, I would like to look at The Pit and the Pendulum from a contemporary perspective.  Edgar Poe obviously did not write the story specifically with a fascist government in mind - the rise of fascist and Nazi dictators did not occur until well after Poe's death - but I hope to show in this interpretation how the torture that the narrator suffers in The Pit and the Pendulum can be viewed from the standpoint of a natural outgrowth of creeping fascism.  And I won't be changing a word in Poe's original story.But before Mr. Poe and I continue, I want to point out that I try for each episode to be around 30 minutes in length.  However I believe the increasing suspense built by The Pit and the Pendulum calls for the story to be read or experienced at one sitting - so this Halloween episode will be closer to one hour, but I think you will find it worth it.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 286 - Clinton and Collins: The Language of GodBefore we jump into this episode, I want to announce what is perhaps the most ambitious undertaking that Celebrate Poe has ever published - the 2024 Halloween episode - combining appropriate sound effects with Poe's story.  This Halloween episode combines The Pit and the Pendulum with some observations regarding contemporary politics, and I decided to go ahead and call it Politics and the the Pendulum.  This episode will also mark the return of the Ghost of Edgar Allan Poe and a renewed emphasis regarding the life, times, and works of the writer.  I plan to release Politics and the Pendulum on October 31 - the morning of HalloweenNow, as we get closer and closer to Election Day in the United States, I want to change the subject of the current series of Celebrate Poe - this podcast will be the final episode - at least for now - where I delve into great speeches by great Americans.   In fact, parts of today's podcast have a slight connection to Edgar Poe - but I will get into that later.  As many of you may know, I am from the relatively small town of Staunton, Virginia - also the hometown of Dr. Francis Collins - the subject of today's podcast.  Dr. Collins just might be one of the greatest Americans who has ever lived, and by the time this episode is over, you just might agree with me.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 284 - Continuity and Progress.  This will mark the third and final episode - for now - dealing with President Obama - and I would like to look at Obama's second Inaugural Address - a speech that covers a wide variety of issues - but first I want to make some comments regarding the speech in hope that they help clarify some of Obama's ideas.But before continuing, I wanted to announce what is perhaps the most ambitious undertaking that Celebrate Poe has ever published - the 2024 Halloween episode - combining appropriate sound effects with Poe's story.  This Halloween episode combines The Pit and the Pendulum with some observations regarding contemporary politics, and is called Politics and the the Pendulum.  This episode will also mark the return of the Ghost of Edgar Allan Poe and a renewed emphasis regarding the life, times, and works of Edgar Poe.  I plan to release Politics and the Pendulum on October 31 - the morning of Halloween

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - this is episode 281- Let Us Continue!   And just in case you are wondering, I am taking a break from episodes about Edgar Poe until election day, and devoting that time to great words from other notable Americans - especially in the political area.Now in the previous episodes, I looked at John Kennedy's 1960 Inaugural Address - followed by an episode devoted to his Civil Rights Address.  And this episode is largely devoted to an address by his successor, Lyndon Baines Johnson regarding President's Kennedy's assassination. 

Send us a Text Message.MerchantWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 262 - John Allan's Death - In this episode I want to zero in on what I feel was one of the major influences on Poe's work - John Allan.  Although - to my knowledge - he never directly encouraged his son to be a writer - I believe that Poe was highly influenced - in a negative way - by the frequent conflicts with the man who called himself Poe's father.  So I'd like to talk about his life, as well as his death with some help from the Ghost of Edgar Poe.

Welcome to Celebrate Poe - My name is George Bartley, and this is Episode 245 - Byron's Influences on Poe.  This episode is the third - and final - for now - episode about Lord Byron, and does not deal as much with Byron's escapades in Europe, but how he influenced Edgar Poe.  The episode delves into the young Edgar Poe as an imitator of Byron, and introduces the important concept of how Poe gradually developed his own voice.

Welcome to Celebrate Poe - My name is George Bartley, and this is episode 239.This episode deals with arguably the two greatest writers of the 19th century - Mark Twain and Edgar Poe - and their fascination with (and love of) cats in their lives and literature. 

This episode looks  at how Edgar Poe was directly influenced by the works of William Shakespeare. This episode deals with a list of quotes from Shakespeare in Poe's handwriting that can be seen at the Poe Museum in Richmond (when the author of this podcast saw that list, he became as excited as a young girl at a Taylor Swift concert!). George points out that Poe (a definite admirer of Shakespeare) later began to concentrate on writing shorter stories to produce “a unified effect.”

This episode is the third and final episode of an "interview" between George and AI Poe (via Google Bard) regarding his first published work,, his life with and love for Virginia Clemm, some of his other loves, and Edgar Poe as a macabre maestro.  An aside here - this certainly wasn't planned - but the third episode dealing with Poe's 215th birthday is episode 215 of this podcast.  

This podcast episode is the first part of an interview with the imaginary ghost of Edgar Allan Poe based on historical records - who is a running character throughout the podcast - using examples from his life and creative observations on the ghost's part about what life and literature was like in the 19th century. Today I would like to start the first of several (if necessary) episodes regarding the birthday of Edgar Allan Poe. I would ask questions of the ghost of Poe and it would answer using the beautiful, flowing language of the 19th century - word structure and vocabulary that might be foreign to us today, but is how the real Edgar Allan Poe might have expressed himself (largely based on his writings.). In this first part of the “interview,”  I talk about the prompt I used with AI Poe, how the ghost of Edgar Poe views popularity, success failure, and despair, and Mr. Poe's thoughts about what it means to be human.  I also ask Mr. Poe about some of his influences such as Lord Byron and Emily Dickinson, and end with a rather detailed look at some of AI Poe's deep feelings regarding Shakespeare.George Bartley

Today's poem is by Edgar Allan Poe (né Edgar Poe; January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849), an American writer, poet, author, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism and Gothic fiction in the United States, and of American literature.[1] Poe was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story, and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre, as well as a significant contributor to the emerging genre of science fiction.[2] He is the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.[3]—Bio via Wikipedia Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

From London Esta semana el viaje de La Luz del Misterio, en London Radio World nos hemos referido a la información de la que se han hecho eco muchos medios internacionales sobre el Gran Atractor, la misteriosa región del cosmos hacia donde se dirigen miles de galaxias (incluida la Vía Láctea). "Nuestra galaxia va en dirección a algo que no podemos ver con claridad. El punto focal de ese movimiento es el Gran Atractor, el producto de miles de millones de años de evolución cósmica", le explica a BBC Mundo el cosmólogo Paul Sutter, profesor de astrofísica en la Universidad Stony Brooks, en Nueva York. Luego hemos hecho una experiencia de La Luz del Misterio Live apasionante viaje hacia la figura del escritor y crítico literario Edgar Poe, a través del magnifico trabajo realizado por el investigador e historiador Óscar Fábrega, en la editorial Guante Blanco, titulado: A propósito de Poe. Un recorrido con desvíos por la vida y obra de un bostoniano. Edgar Poe nació en Boston, Massachusetts, y sus padres murieron cuando era niño. Fue recogido por un matrimonio adinerado de Richmond, Virginia, Frances y John Allan, aunque nunca fue adoptado oficialmente. Pasó un curso académico en la Universidad de Virginia y posteriormente se enroló, también por breve tiempo, en el ejército. Sus relaciones con los Allan se rompieron en esa época, debido a las continuas desavenencias con su padrastro, quien a menudo desoyó sus peticiones de ayuda y acabó desheredándolo. Su carrera literaria se inició con un libro de poemas, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827). Murió el 7 de octubre de 1849, en la ciudad de Baltimore, en extrañas circunstancias cuando contaba apenas cuarenta años de edad. La causa exacta de su muerte nunca fue aclarada. Se atribuyó al alcohol, a congestión cerebral, cólera, drogas, fallo cardíaco, rabia, suicidio, tuberculosis y otras causas. Descubriremos mucho de los misterio tras este gran autor de novela gótica y de otros géneros menos conocido realizados por el propio Poe. Más información sobre el programa de hoy: A propósito de Poe.

Première partie - chapitre 7 : Une baleine d'espèce inconnueProposé par audiolude.frNarrateur : Alain Couchot"Bien que j'eusse été surpris par cette chute inattendue, je n'en conservai pas moins une impression très-nette de mes sensations.Je fus d'abord entraîné à une profondeur de vingt pieds environ. Je suis bon nageur, sans prétendre égaler Byron et Edgar Poe, qui sont des maîtres, et ce plongeon ne me fit point perdre la tête. Deux vigoureux coups de talons me ramenèrent à la surface de la mer.Mon premier soin fut de chercher des yeux la frégate. L'équipage s'était-il aperçu de ma disparition ? L'Abraham-Lincoln avait-il viré de bord ? Le commandant Farragut mettait-il une embarcation à la mer ? Devais-je espérer d'être sauvé ?Les ténèbres étaient profondes. J'entrevis une masse noire qui disparaissait vers l'est, et dont les feux de position s'éteignirent dans l'éloignement. C'était la frégate. Je me sentis perdu.« À moi ! à moi ! » criai-je, en nageant vers l'Abraham-Lincoln d'un bras désespéré.Mes vêtements m'embarrassaient. L'eau les collait à mon corps, ils paralysaient mes mouvements. Je coulais ! je suffoquais !…« À moi ! »Ce fut le dernier cri que je jetai. Ma bouche s'emplit d'eau. Je me débattis, entraîné dans l'abîme…Soudain, mes habits furent saisis par une main vigoureuse, je me sentis violemment ramené à la surface de la mer, et j'entendis, oui, j'entendis ces paroles prononcées à mon oreille :« Si monsieur veut avoir l'extrême obligeance de s'appuyer sur mon épaule, monsieur nagera beaucoup plus à son aise. »Je saisis d'une main le bras de mon fidèle Conseil.« Toi ! dis-je, toi !— Moi-même, répondit Conseil, et aux ordres de monsieur.— Et ce choc t'a précipité en même temps que moi à la mer ?— Nullement. Mais étant au service de monsieur, j'ai suivi monsieur ! »Le digne garçon trouvait cela tout naturel !« Et la frégate ? demandai-je.— La frégate ! répondit Conseil en se retournant sur le dos, je crois que monsieur fera bien de ne pas trop compter sur elle !— Tu dis ?— Je dis qu'au moment où je me précipitai à la mer, j'entendis les hommes de barre s'écrier : « L'hélice et le gouvernail sont brisés… »— Brisés ?— Oui ! brisés par la dent du monstre. C'est la seule avarie, je pense, que l'Abraham-Lincoln ait éprouvée. Mais, circonstance fâcheuse pour nous, il ne gouverne plus.— Alors, nous sommes perdus !"

This bonus episode deals with some factors that encouraged Poe to become fascinated with the military - especially in the person of General Lafayette.  This episode deals with Lafayette's background in France and time in the United States and his essential role in the American Revolution.  His role in helping the United States become an independent nation led to him becoming a hero in the United States, and fifty years later he was invited back to the United States.It was during this time that the young Edgar Poe served with the a Junior Volunteer Rifleman group that greeted Lafayette on his visit to Richmond.00:00 Introduction02:14 Lafayette in France05:01 Lafayette decides to help the United States?06:33 Lafayette in America11:11 Lafayette is invited back to the United States14:28 Lafayette visits Baltimore17:15 Lafayette visits Virginia 20:20 Poe as Junior Volunteer Rifleman23:55 James and Lafayette25:07 Summary26:14 Future Episodes27:10  Sources28:36 OutroWhat was Lafayette's background like?How did Lafayette help the United States?How long did it take Lafayette's ship to reach the United States?Why was Lafayette first viewed with suspicion?Why was Lafayette invited back to the United States?What was the young Poe's military connection to Lafayette?What did Lafayette do when he saw James in the parade through Richmond?  Why was it unusual?

durée : 00:58:45 - Les Cours du Collège de France - De quelle façon l'opéra "Tannhäuser" de Wagner a-t-il servi de matrice à bon nombre d'ouvres ultérieures du compositeur? Quel rôle joue le "Silmarillion" dans l'élaboration de l'ouvre de Tolkien? Pierre-Michel Menger poursuit son analyse des oeuvres matricielles et des projets au long cours. Pierre-Michel Menger note que "L'ouvre The Silmarillion qui a servi d'atelier ou de matrice à la production des matériaux romanesques des deux romans les plus célèbres de John Ronald Reuel Tolkien n'a été publiée qu'après la mort de Tolkien, en 1977, par son fils Christopher avec l'aide de Guy Gavriel Kay. Le roman retrace la genèse et les premiers Âges de l'univers de la Terre du Milieu, qui est le cadre des romans Le Hobbit et Le Seigneur des anneaux." Dès lors, comment Christopher Tolkien a-t-il fouillé et magnifié par un patient et monumental labeur l'atelier de son père ? Pourquoi Baudelaire, avec une "ironie complice", voit-t-il dans la genèse du poème "The Raven" ("Le Corbeau") par son auteur Edgar Poe "un peu de charlatanerie"?Pierre-Michel Menger, titulaire de la chaire de Sociologie du travail créateur, au Collège de France et Directeur d'études à l'EHESS, poursuit sa passionnante enquête, inaugurée en 2019, sous le titre « Comment achever une ouvre ? Travail et processus de création ». Pour la suite de cette grande plongée, dans les ateliers des artistes, dans les processus créateurs, entre "contrôle et incertitude", "décision et indécision", il nous propose des études de cas. Dans le cours précédent, il a ouvert la question des ouvres matricielles, notamment, lorsqu'il a abordé la notion de travail au long cours et de vastes entreprises :"Il y a un autre niveau d'organisation du travail, les "entreprises" (affaire, aventure, entreprise). Une "entreprise" est un groupe durable d'activités liées destinées à produire une série de produits apparentés. Une entreprise embrasse un grand nombre de projets. Plus spécifiquement, quand un projet est achevé, de nouvelles possibilités émergent, à exploiter maintenant ou plus tard. Finir un projet conduit rarement à un état de repos; il déclenche plutôt du travail ultérieur, comme si l'achèvement fournissait l'élan pour continuer. Ainsi chaque entreprise assure une fonction de tremplin pour les projets suivants". "D'un projet à l'autre, poursuit Pierre-Michel Menger, des éléments ou des procédés sont réemployés. Des ouvres d'ambition considérables qui demeurent inachevées peuvent constituer de véritables matrices dont dérive la production d'ouvres particulières. Les ouvres que leurs auteurs jugent inachevées et qui les hantent ont tellement de liens avec les ouvres qui suivent que l'on peut se prendre à analyser l'ensemble complet comme s'il s'agissait d'une création hypertexte. Les multiples révisions, ramifications et bifurcations le long desquelles évolue un travail créateur sont bien la signature d'un parcours incertain (un sorte de squelette pour un processus qui est tout de même orienté dans une certaine direction), mais aussi le support d'un vaste processus d'apprentissage."Le cours précédent s'est achevé sur "le cas fameux de la Porte de l'Enfer de Rodin, glorieux inachèvement, qui occupe une place tout à fait particulière dans la production de Rodin". Aujourd'hui, Pierre Michel Menger nous plonge dans les ateliers du musicien Richard Wagner et des écrivains John Ronald Reuel Tolkien et Edgar Allan Poe.Nous gagnons le Collège de France, le 19 mars 2021, pour le cours de Pierre Michel Menger, aujourd'hui "Raréfaction, consolidation, augmentation - l'ouvre et sa « biographie » au prisme de l'édition (partie 1), de Wagner à Tolkien"Pour prolonger : La Leçon inaugurale de Pierre-Michel Menger a été publiée chez Fayard en 2014 et en édition électronique, sous le titre, La différence, la concurrence et la disproportion : sociologie du travail créateur.

Y así es; empezamos a otorgarle su verdadero lugar, igual o superior al de Edgar Poe; en cualquier caso, decididamente único. Lovecraft tuvo a veces la sensación, ante el repetido fracaso de su producción literaria, de que a fin de cuentas el sacrificio de su vida había sido inútil. Hoy podemos juzgarlo de otro modo; nosotros, para quienes él ha llegado a ser un iniciador esencial a un universo diferente , situado mucho más allá de los límites de la experiencia humana, y no obstante de un impacto emocional terriblemente preciso. Este hombre que no consiguió vivir consiguió, finalmente, escribir. Le costó lo suyo. Le llevó años. Nueva York lo ayudó. Él, que era tan amable, tan cortés, descubrió allí el odio. De regreso en Providence escribió relatos magníficos, vibrantes como un conjuro, precisos como una disección. La estructura dramática de los «grandes textos» es de una riqueza impresionante; los recursos narrativos son hábiles, nuevos, audaces; pero tal vez nada de todo eso bastaría si no intuyésemos, en mitad del conjunto, la presión de una fuerza interior devoradora. Toda gran pasión, ya se trate de amor o de odio, termina produciendo una obra auténtica. Podemos lamentarlo, pero hay que reconocerlo: Lovecraft se sitúa más bien del lado del odio; del odio y del miedo. El universo, que intelectualmente él concibe como indiferente, se vuelve estéticamente hostil. Su propia existencia, que podría haber sido tan sólo una serie de triviales desengaños, se convierte en una operación quirúrgica y una celebración invertida, especular. Su obra de madurez siguió siendo fiel a la postración física de su juventud, transfigurándola. Ahí radica el secreto profundo del genio de Lovecraft, ahí nace el límpido manantial de su poesía: logró transformar su asco por la vida en una hostilidad activa . Ofrecer una alternativa a la vida en todas sus facetas, constituir una oposición permanente, un recurso permanente a la vida: tal es la misión más elevada del poeta en esta tierra. Howard Phillips Lovecraft cumplió esta misión. Michel Houellebecq, 1991. La base musical pertenece a Epidemic sound Licencia premium autorizada.

ART INTERVIEW, lundi et jeudi à 14h. Julie Gabrielle Chaizemartin ou Stéphane Dubreil rencontre des artistes et des acteurs du monde de l'art. Cette semaine, Stéphane rencontre Alix Paré, historienne de l'art, co-autrice de Fantastique Gustave Doré, nous fait entrer dans l'atelier de cet artiste hors norme. Artiste renommé du XIXe siècle, génial illustrateur des grandes œuvres de l'histoire littéraire, de la Bible à Edgar Poe et Théophile Gaultier, Gustave Doré s'est installé au plus profond de notre imaginaire et de notre culture visuelle. Impossible de penser les Fables de la Fontaine, les contes de Perrault ou Gargantua sans que ne surgissent son Chat botté, Gargantua en plein festin ou les rats poursuivis par le lion.Artiste complet : dessinateur, graveur, peintre et sculpteur, Gustave Doré est homme de son temps. Habité par le romantisme, la curiosité pour la nature, une fascination pour le fantastique qui s'impose depuis l'Angleterre, il invente une imagerie qui influencera Gustave Moreau et le symbolisme, la peinture d'Odilon Redon, le cinéma de Méliès jusqu'à des oeuvres plus récentes. Harry Potter, le Seigneur des Anneaux, l'animation de Blanche Neige, Fantasia de Disney ou encore Shreck, la bande-dessinée et la publicité. Surdoué, prolifique, il laisse plus de 10 000 gravures et au moins 100 000 dessins, Gustave Doré a aussi pratiqué la caricature, le reportage de guerre et l'illustration de guide de voyage. "Il a livré des caricatures comiques et des images sérieuses, des visions épiques et des vues contemplatives, il a observé le réel tout en étant virtuose dans la fantaisie. Il nous semblait nécessaire de partager ce foisonnement et de révéler cette diversité."
