What are the characteristics of edgar allan poe's works and what are his representative works?

Edgar is not only a poet and novelist, but also a famous critic. He was a newspaper editor for a long time when he was alive. His works are "unique" at any time. The language and form are exquisite and beautiful, and the content is diverse. He has always advocated "art for art's sake". His artistic thought runs through almost all his works, including poems, short stories and papers. In these works, he claimed that "the purpose of all art is entertainment, not truth." He believes that "only creating beauty in poetry-extraordinary beauty is the proper way to arouse interest." Music is an indispensable part of poetry, which is especially important for poets to strive to express extraordinary beauty. In story writing, artists might as well try to create thrilling, horrible and strong emotional effects. And every work should have an effect. "He wrote sixty or seventy short stories in his life. Although he only wrote four or five mystery novels, he is recognized as the originator of mystery novels. Masterpieces such as The Bloody Case in Mao Mu Street, The Mystery of Mary Roger, The Case of Stealing Letters, Scarab, etc. are all regarded as precedents of this kind of novels, which have great influence on later generations. Edgar's main poems are: Oh, Time! Oh, fashion! (O，Tempora！ Oh, Minde! ), to Margaret, Song, the dead, a dream, the happiest day, sonnets to science,-(to rivers, lonely, turbulent valleys, conquerors worms, dreams in dreams, and so on. The main works in the novel are: The Duke of Omelet, Breathless, Dating, Shadow-Fable and King of Pests. Mystery, Merchant, Murder in Moge Street (detective novel), Men in the Crowd, Never bet your head on the devil, Three Sundays a week and so on. Papers and comments mainly include: some narratives about Stonehenge, Byron and Miss Chavez, poetic principles, Melzer's Chess Player in Melzer, comments on Hawthorne's Restatement of Stories (comments on Hawthorne's Two Stories) and so on. Among them, the representative works in the novel are Black Cat and the Collapse of Usher House, and the representative works are Crow. The Leaking Heart is a perfect combination of first-person narrative perspective, classic time-space narrative and symbolic image. The horror of the soul is the concentrated expression of people's lonely, desperate and helpless survival dilemma. The horror description of the soul is a philosophical discussion of the complex and subtle relationship between man and society, man and nature, man and others, and man and himself, which coincides with the existentialism that arose in the 20th century. Telling the old man in his heart is an eye, giving people a very evil feeling and being endowed with unexplained diseases and misfortunes. The whole poem "Crow" depicts a supernatural atmosphere in an unrealistic environment with Poe's unique language style. To some extent, crows make people feel that they are listening to a person's inner monologue. Between the lines, it expresses the infinite sadness of the hero of the story in the poem and edgar allan poe himself. To sum up, what is hidden in Blood Heart is deep fear, and what is hidden in Crow is deep sadness.
