		Valdemar at once cultivated the friendship of the new emperor; and Frederick, by an imperial brief, issued in December 1214 and subsequently confirmed by Innocent III.

	Style: Recomposing "Valdemar": Graham Greene reweaves a tale by Poe - The Short Story: Theory and Practice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		As I will argue, Valdemar and Weaver can both be read as inscribed figures for their narratives' own discourse: each of the characters is central to his respective story and each story ends with the rapid decomposition of the character.
		Poe's "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" is both the model for and the precursor of Greene's story, but Greene's reworking of Poe's tale is highly suggestive insofar as it reveals several properties of narrative itself.
		In Valdemar and in Weaver as well, we have figures for a narrative that is a site of suspension between a beginning and an end, between the proposal of an enigma and its solution.
