His most recurring themes deal with questions of death, including its physical signs, the effects of decomposition, concerns of premature burial, the reanimation of the dead, and mourning. He often included elements of popular pseudosciences such as phrenology and physiognomy. Poe pursued originality in his works, and disliked proverbs. Meaning in literature, he said in his criticism, should be an undercurrent just beneath the surface works whose meanings are too obvious cease to be art. Poe's writing reflects his literary theories: he disagreed with didacticism and allegory. These works are generally considered part of the Dark romanticism movement, a literary reaction to Transcendentalism. ![]() His fiction spans multiple genres, including horror fiction, adventure, science fiction, and detective fiction, a genre he is credited with inventing.
