The Loves and Letters of Edgar A. Poe is an intimate expose of one of America's greatest, yet woefully misunderstood, literary treasures. Here, the charismatic author is revealed through his own personal letters to family, friends, lovers, business associates and literary rivals and these are artfully woven into the intriguing and captivating story of his life.
Long before his first book of poetry was published at the age of 18, Poe established himself as a prolific writer. Contained herein are heartbreaking letters to his foster father, John Allan, who refused to adopt young Edgar, sentimental letters to his first love, Sarah Elmira Royster and to his beloved cousin, Virginia Clem. Last but not least are the heated critiques and exchanges with his contemporaries including Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne and H. W. Longfellow with whom his exchanges were dubbed the "Little Longfellow War."
Little known are the facts about Poe's genius, mastering French as a child, and while at university his ability to memorize lessons in Greek, Latin and Spanish overnight, earning him the envy of his classmates. Poe coined over a thousand words and created the modern detective story.
Although Poe's works are well known, the same cannot be said for the man himself. From his tragic childhood to the mysterious circumstances of his death, only Poe, himself, can offer a window into his soul.
