	History, narrative, and authority: Poe's `Metzengerstein'.
		The attitude of the narrator toward "the doctrines of the Metempsychosis" and "the words of an ancient prophecy" he posits as the supposed "origin"(94)[2] of the hostility between the Berlifitzing and Metzengerstein families reveals both his strategy for artistic control and the source of its subversion.

		Metempsychosis stands, then, as Poe's figure for history and its capacity for permeating and dissolving identity boundaries.

		Metempsychosis Commonly used for the entry of the soul into a new body or reimbodiment; but etymologically it means the clothing of a monad with a new soul, while metensomatosis means the clothing of that ensouled monad with a new body.
