To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But inex- pensive as it may seem to those of us who look to literature for enlightenment, for solace in the hour of need, for stimulus to stiffen the will in the never-ending struggle of life, the detective tale, as Poe contrived it, has merits of its own as distinct and as undeniable, as those of the his- torical novel, for example, or of the sea-tale. It may please the young rather than the old, but the pleasure it can give is ever innocent; and the young are always in the majority.
IV In so ...far as Poe had any predecessor in the composing of a narrative, the interest of which should reside in the application of human in- telligence to the solution of a mystery, this was not Balzac, — altho the American romancer was sufficiently familiar with the ' Human Comedy ' 122 POE AND THE DETECTIVE-STORY to venture quotation from it. Nor was this pre- decessor Cooper, whom Balzac admired and even imitated, altho Leatherstociting in tracking his redskin enemies revealed the tense observation and the faculty of deduction with which Poe was to endow his Dupin.
