Explanation and Analysis:

Edgar Allen Poe is best known as an author of gothic fiction, sometimes also called gothic horror, a genre that became prominent in the 18th century and remained popular throughout the 19th century. Gothic literature is generally understood as a reaction to the emphasis on science, reason, and rationality that characterized the earlier Enlightenment period. Gothic fiction, in contrast, emphasizes supernatural events, dark and macabre themes, and heightened emotions, particularly terror and awe.
