Abstract

According to the contemporary literary criticism The Man that was Used Up (1982, [1839]) represents one of the most significant satires of Edgar Allan Poe. This burlesque suggests many references to the effects of magazine context upon literature in the first half of the nineteenth century. The aim of this study is to briefly describe the influence of Poe’s magazinist career in the field of fiction, precisely in this short story, based on the studies of J. Gerald Kennedy, Jonathan Auerbach, Leonard Cassuto and Stacey Margolis among others.
