A note on 1809 marking the centenary of Poe's birth outlines his early career and marriage. It references the Supreme Master of the literary art and hints at broader critical context of his work and influence.
A historical look at Edgar Allan Poe's early life from Boston to Richmond, tracing adoption, family strife, and a restless rise through poetry and journalism. It notes his West Point dismissal, early publications, and the shaping events that influenced his later fame as a pioneer of modern fiction and verse.
A compact look at 1809 as a pivotal year for the writer’s genius and turmoil. It traces Poe’s self-portrait, his romantic intrigues, his satirical edge, and the tragic arc of his ending.
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.
