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 worked as a newspaper editor for a long time during his lifetime. His works are "unique" in any era. The language and form are exquisite and beautiful, and the content is diverse. He has always advocated "art for art's sake". His artistic claims appear throughout nearly all of his works, including poetry, short stories, and essays. In these works, he claimed that "the purpose of all art is entertainment, not truth." He believed that "in poetry, only creating beauty - extraordinary beauty is the legitimate way to cause pleasure. Music is an indispensable component of poetry. "It is especially important for poets to strive to express extraordinary beauty, and in story writing, artists may strive to create thrilling, terrifying and intense emotional effects," he wrote throughout his life. Sixty or seventy short stories, although he only wrote four or five mystery novels, he is universally recognized as the originator of mystery novels. His representative works "The Murder in the Rue Mauger", "The Mystery of Mary Roger", "The Stealing of Letters" and "The Gold Bug" are all regarded as the pioneers of this type of novels and have had a great influence on later generations. Edgar's major works in poetry include: "O Time!" Oh, the fashion! (O, Tempora! O, Mores!)", "To Margaret", "Song", "Spirits of the Dead", "A Dream", "The Happiest Day", "Sonnet - To Science", "To The River - (To The River)", "Alone", "Uneasy Valley" (The Valley of Unrest), "The Conqueror Worm (The Conqueror Worm)", "A Dream Within A Dream", etc.; the main works in novels include: "The Duke of Dromelet" (The Duc De L'Omelette)", "Loss of Breath", "The Assignation", "Shadow - A Parable", "King Pest" )", "Mystification", "The Business Man", "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (detective novel), "The Man of the Crowd" Crowd), "Never Bet the Devil Your Head", "Three Sundays in a Week", etc.; essays and comments mainly include: "Some Account of Stonehenge", "Byron and Miss Chaworth", "The Poetic Principle", "Maelzel's Chess" -Player", "Review of Hawthorne's 'Twice-Told Tales'" and so on. Among the novels, the most representative works include "The Black Cat" and "The Fall of the House of Usher", and the representative poems include "The Crow". "The Tell-Tale Heart" is a perfect combination of first-person narrative perspective, classic time and space narrative and symbolic imagery. The horror of the soul is a concentrated expression of people's loneliness, despair and helpless survival dilemma. The description of the horror of the soul is a kind of complex and subtle relationship between people and society, people and nature, people and others, and people and themselves. Philosophical discussion, this coincides with the existential thought that emerged in the 20th century. The old man in "The Tell-Tale Heart" has one eye, which gives people an extremely evil feeling and is endowed with unexplainable diseases and misfortunes. The entire poem "The Raven" is created by Edgar Allan Poe's unique language style, depicting a supernatural atmosphere in an unrealistic environment. To a certain extent, "The Crow" makes people feel like they are listening to a person's inner monologue. Every line expresses the infinite sorrow felt by both the protagonist of the poem and Poe himself in the deepest part of his heart. To sum up, there is deep fear hidden in the text of "The Vented Heart", while there is deep sadness in "The Crow".
