Eureka, A Prose Poem is over 40,000 words in length and it is not a poem! It was Poe's last major work and was based on a lecture Poe presented in 1848, titled "On The Cosmography of the Universe." He had hoped for an audience of hundreds and that the proceeds of the lecture would pay for his new journal "The Stylus." However, only 60 attended and they went away confused. In Eureka, Poe explains the universe and the relationship of people with God based on the proposition "Because Nothing was, therefore All Things are."

In this remarkable work, master story-teller Edgar Allan Poe builds on known scientific truths to propound a universe governed by the immutable laws of attraction and repulsion, i.e., expansion and a return to unity. The irascible, vindictive God of the Old Testament and the Deists' Master Clockmaker are routed by Poe's pantheistic World Spirit who, through the force of expansion, is diffused throughout his creation. Moreover, we humans are all part of this universal spirit and each of us is his own god. Published after his death, as Poe desired, Eureka was based on a lecture Poe presented in 1848, titled "On The Cosmography of the Universe". He had hoped for an audience of hundreds and that the proceeds of the lecture would pay for his new journal "The Stylus". However, only 60 attended and they went away confused. Eureka remains a startlingly different work from the author's more popular offerings.

Excerpt:...EUREKA:AN ESSAY ON THE MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL UNIVERSE.It is with humility really unassumed--it is with a sentiment even of awe--that I pen the opening sentence of this work: for of all conceivable subjects I approach the reader with the most solemn--the most comprehensive--the most difficult--the most august.What terms shall I find sufficiently simple in their sublimity--sufficiently sublime in their simplicity--for the mere enunciation of my theme?I design to speak of the Physical, Metaphysical and Mathematical--of the Material and Spiritual Universe:--of its Essence, its Origin, its Creation, its Present Condition and its Destiny. I shall be so rash, moreover, as to challenge the conclusions, and thus, in effect, to question the sagacity, of many of the greatest and most justly reverenced of men.In the beginning, let me as distinctly as possible announce--not the theorem which I hope to demonstrate--for, whatever the mathematicians may assert, there is, in this world at least, no such thing as demonstration--but the ruling idea which, throughout this volume, I shall be continually endeavoring to suggest.My general proposition, then, is this:--In the Original Unity of the First Thing lies the Secondary Cause of All Things, with the Germ of their Inevitable Annihilation.In illustration of this idea, I propose to take such a survey of the Universe that the mind may be able really to receive and to perceive an individual impression.He who from the top of Ætna casts his eyes leisurely around, is affected chiefly by the extent and diversity of the scene. Only by a rapid whirling on his heel could he hope to comprehend the panorama in the sublimity of its oneness. But as, on the summit of Ætna, no man has thought of whirling on his heel, so no man has ever taken into his brain the full uniqueness of the prospect; and so, again, whatever considerations lie involved in this uniqueness, have as yet no practical existence for mankind.I do not know a treatise in which a survey of the Universe--using the word in its most comprehensive and only legitimate acceptation--is taken at all:--and it may be as well here to mention that by the term "Universe," wherever employed without qualification in this essay, I mean to designate the utmost conceivable expanse of space, with all things, spiritual and material, that can be imagined to exist within the compass of that expanse. In speaking of what is ordinarily implied by the expression, "Universe," I shall take a phrase of limitation--"the Universe of stars." Why this distinction is considered necessary, will be seen in the sequel.But even of treatises on the really limited, although always assumed as the unlimited, Universe of stars, I know none in which a survey, even of this limited Universe, is so taken as to warrant deductions from its individuality. The nearest approach to such a work is made in the "Cosmos" of Alexander Von Humboldt. He presents the subject, however, not in its individuality but in its generality. His theme, in its last result, is the law of each portion of the merely physical Universe, as this law is related to the laws of every other portion of this merely physical Universe. His design is simply synoeretical. In a word, he discusses the universality of material relation, and discloses to the eye of Philosophy whatever inferences have hitherto lain hidden behind this universality. But however admirable be the succinctness with which he has treated each particular point of his topic, the mere multiplicity of these points occasions, necessarily, an amount of detail, and thus an involution of idea, which precludes all individuality of impression...

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Eureka (1848) is a long non-fiction work by the American author Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) who was subtitled "A Poem in Prose", although it has also been subtitled "An Essay on the Material and Spiritual Universe". Adapted from a lecture he had presented, Eureka describes Poe's intuitive conception of the nature of the universe with no history of scientific work done to reach his conclusions. It also talks about man's relationship with God, whom he compares with an author. It is dedicated to the German naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859). Although generally considered a literary work, some of Poe's ideas anticipate the scientific discoveries and theories of the 20th century. In fact, a critical analysis of the scientific content of Eureka reveals a non-causal correspondence with modern cosmology.Due to the assumption of an evolving Universe, but excludes the anachronistic anticipation of relativistic concepts such as black holes. Eureka was poorly received in Poe's day and generally described as absurd, even by friends. Modern critics continue to debate the importance of Eureka, and some doubt its seriousness, in part due to Poe's many incorrect assumptions and his comic descriptions of well-known historical minds.
