  The Great Lisbon Earthquake and Tsunami of 1 November 1755 - by Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis
Also, the first wave in 1755 was negative, which indicates that the wave originated from a region of subsidence, while the 1969 wave was positive from an area of upthrust.
It is believed that the tsunamigenic efficiency of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake was greater because of large scale subsidence caused by continent to continent convergence and compression.
Although the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 was a rare and unusual combination of seismic and tsunami events, a recurrence in the future is a certainty.

Nineteenth-century Decadent literature either describes aspects of decadent life and society or reflects the decadent literary aesthetic.
Another major thematic, as well as stylistic, influence on Decadent literature was the Gothic novel, and the writings of Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849).
Decrepit, isolated mansions; feeble, aristocratic lineages; and hypersensitive, refined bachelors are some of the stock elements of Decadent writing that can be traced to such writers as Poe and Ann Radcliffe (1764-1823).
