Composite portrait of Poe by surviving friends
From recollections of George Giraud, John Sartain, Mrs Nichols and others, a portrait of Edgar Allan Poe is drawn. He is described as pale, intellectual, with a delicate Hebrew look, dignified, with a melodic voice and a gift for readings. The piece traces his loves, marriages to Virginia Clemm, and a circle of devoted women. It covers his career at Graham's and the Broadway Journal, legal battles, and the continuing fascination of society with Poe, despite hardship and misfortune. Virginia dies in January, Poe’s poverty and illness intensify, and his death is portrayed as tragic yet triumphant in influence.
