Talk:The Devil in the Belfry

For Italian readers, I wrote my "tesi" (final paper) on this short story and you can consult it free on the site www.tesionline.it, alas, only in Italian... sorry! Cecilia Marutti 02:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Illustrations?
Not sure if the section on Illustrations is important... I've kept it for now, but there are so many illustrations for so many of Poe's works, I'm not sure why the two mentioned here are so noteworthy. Midnightdreary 16:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Analysis
Hello, folks. This article claimed that the story is a satire of President Van Buren; however, no citations or references were made to that claim. I did some extensive research and found several credible sources that claim the contrary, one of which I've cited along with details. If anyone has any support for the Van Buren theory in the form of personal statements by Poe or such, please add the info. Cheers Chazella (talk) 14:36, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I have a feeling this started as someone's personal essay. Good work beginning clean-up. --Midnightdreary (talk) 19:45, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Influence on Popular Culture
Consider adding: Twixt(2012) Francis Ford Coppola's film makes reference to the piece. The film is set in a town where,in a newspaper clipping found by its protagonist, Poe is attributed to writing the work "The Devil in the Belfry". It can be argued "The Devil in the Belfry" is allegorically used to describe the uncomfortable chaotic state needed to break free of long standing formulaic writings. 75.149.80.46 (talk) 18:32, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
