Abstract
Edgar Allen Poe is well known writer in the history of literature due to being bestowed with the unique type of stories and novels. Horror, demise, fester, madness, lunacy and awfulness are the most common features of his work. Similarly, Gothicism is an important movement of Sweden that remained active for long duration of time. Furthermore, demise, madness and haunting places are also the major attributes of the Gothicism. Therefore, it can be observed that work of EAP is spell bound by the major features of Gothicism. Various stories and novels including “Ligea”, “The Cask of Amontillado”, “Tell Tale Heart” and “The Fall of the House of Usher” are the perfect examples for proving the fact that work of EAP embellished with gothic features. However, very literature is available for highlighting this important scenario of literature and needs a detailed analysis for enlightening the spell bound work of EAP by Gothicism. Thus, present research covers these entire research gaps and is a source of opening a window for new researchers to work in the light of above explained theme of work. In the light of results obtained by qualitative analysis, it can be concluded that our hypothesis that work of EAP is spell bound by the Gothicism is quite significantly true supported by the context citation of the above explained short stories and novels.
