10. The next question is related to one paragraph, stated below. Read, understand and select an
answer:

The "taint of melancholy" which Edgar Allan Poe throughout his life associated with the more
"soulful" aspects of beauty was, of course, one of the familiar moods of romantics everywhere. But
it is somewhat unusual that this particular mood should be so favored by Southern poets. From the
defiant anguish reminiscent of Byron to the delicate sadness characteristic of female poets like
Mrs. Felicia Hemans, the whole range of melancholy feeling could be found in the pages of The
Messenger during the 1930s. This is not to say that the magazine published only the poems of the
Southern poetasters who invoked melancholy. The significant point is that the Southern poets whom
The Messenger did publish were prone to exploit melancholy. Poems on Poe's favorite subject, the
death of a beautiful woman, were numerous enough in The Messenger to make US feel some
retroactive concern about the durability of Southern belles.

Most poetry published in the South:

A. Was cheerful in mood
B. Was melancholic
C. Did not reflect one of the familiar moods of the romantics
D. Was written by Edgar Allan Poe
