Edgar Poe, an American writer, was born in 1809. His parents were actors. Edgar was a baby when his father left the family. He was two years old when his mother died. He was taken into the home of a wealthy business man named John Allen. He then received his new name, Edgar Allen Poe. As a young man, Poe attended the University of Virginia. He was a good student, but he liked to drink alcohol and play card games for money. As an unskilled game player, he often lost money. Since he couldn’t pay his gambling losses, he left the university and began working for magazines. He worked hard, yet he was not well paid, or well known. At the age of 27, he got married. For a time it seemed that Poe would find happiness, but his wife was sick for most of their marriage, and died in 1847.
Through all his crises, Poe produced many stories and poems which appeared in different publications, yet he didn’t become famous until 1845, when his poem, The Raven, was published. There is a question, however, about Poe’s importance in American Literature. Some critics say Poe was one of America’s best writers, and even had a great influence on many French writers. But others disagree. They my Poe’s work is difficult to understand and most of his writing de scribes very unpleasant situations and events. Edgar Allen Poe died in 1849 when he was 40 years old. It is said that he was found dead after days of heavy drinking.
选项
A、His poems are heavily influenced by French writers.
B、His stories are mainly set in the State of Virginia.
C、His work is difficult to read.
D、His language is not refined.
答案
C
解析
What do some critics say about Edgar Allen Poe?
该题问“一些批评家对Poe 的评价是什么?”文中讲到,一些批评家认为Poe 是美国最优秀的作家之一,甚至影响了很多法国作家。但是另外一些批评家却认为他的作品晦涩难懂,而且大多数作品描写的都是不幸的情况和事件。据此我们可以看出C项“他的作品读起来很困难”符合题意。
