I live near Richmond Virginia I was told that Poe fell ill of an unknown illness away from home he always feared being buried alive which did happen at the time so he had a bell and a red fan attached to a string that would go to his finger and alert the living if this did happen but again he was not home when he became sick after being buried he was exhumed and moved back home to Richmond Virginia when they realized who he was the inside of his coffin was scratched up where he had tried to call his way out his greatest fear actually came true does anyone know if this one is true or not I also heard that his wife was the love of his life again who knows

7: 05 mark. The pic on the right of him in classic Free mason pose wasn't suprising at all. In fact its the same ole story with most of these people who are famous. Adopted, poor, found in jail or mlliatary quickly rise up into high society & the gov is always involved in there somewhere. I've put in a lot of time researching & after awhile you realise the amount of coincidences would be mathematically impossible. I wonder why he couldn't change ranks until he reconciliated with the adoptive father? His death was probably what we in the modern world refer too now as being Epsteined!

I'm 81 now and while in the 6th grade I read Poe's poem ( among all his other writings ) Annabelle Lee which to me to this day is the most beautiful poem ever written. I always thought that Annabelle Lee was real and the love of his life. Alas, there is no mention any where that
Annabelle Lee was real. After reading these comments I'm happy to know that all the bad things said about Edgar Allen Poe were all lies.
Annabelle Lee is still real to me in my heart.

This video is pretty well done
Pretty spot on to the situation regarding Poes life, things were so different in times like this. Its always a shame when a mysterious poet dies to unforeseen circumstances, but, this is just something that even happens today. Artists die of the unforeseen in many ways, just rejoicing in the works instead of feeling bad for him would be more appropriate I would think. He did not die in vain, but of a broken heart.

I liked Edgar Allan Poe's writing. But now that I hear he was an alcoholic and led a reckless lifestyle due to the alcoholism etc, it sheds an unfavourable light on him. If he would have over come his self destructive vices he would have been an even more brilliant writer, wrote more and been much more successful in his life. But never the less, his writing is still very good.

Its also theroized that Poe may have had some sort of cancer / tumor on the brain. which could explain his hallucinations / mental delusions, and the slurred speech and confusion on the day Snodgrass found him could mean whatever it was could have reached a fatal stage. it also could have caused the tremors / seizures on the last 48 hrs of his life.

Horror was always all of life's destiny. Our heart is the conscience painfully pumping the blood of fear. Conscience pumps fear through a slavery of veins, a network of terror which can only tolerate the completely impotent rescue of Hope, - a genuinely frantic and pathetic prayer for help.

I don't care if he used to be alcoholic or not. Haters might have changed his biography. So don't always believe in what u hear. We never know.
What he created and left us is the thing! He was great writer and we must appreciate him.
Rest in peace, beautiful soul.

Being from Maryland, we visited his grave in Baltimore. For many years there was a mysterious guest that left gifts at his grave every year since his death. The secret of who this was was not known by the public when I was younger. I don't know if anyone knows it now.

I got so confused when they showed the picture of T. H. White, since he kind of looked pretty modern. It's said in this video that T. H. White hired Edgar Allan Poe. But upon searching, White was born on 1906 while Poe died on 1849. How could that be?

Well, I have to admit that he's not a quitter and he didn't give up on what he wanted in his life, I am kinda fond of his Story THE TELL TALE HEART! HIS LIFE AND DEATH WERE SORT OF A MYSTERY!

Great video and loved learning about this literary figure. Would love to see a video on Ernest Hemingway, Dr. Seuss, Jane Austen, John Steinbeck, Harper Lee, and Louisa May Alcott.

Wow. I reckon Rufus won this round. lies abound. Where on earth do you people get your history facts from? If you are this wrong on Poe how can any of your content be trusted?

The Allans did NOT adopt Edgar. He was their foster child only. This slight made Edgar feel like a charity case and a poor cousin.

Please do better research. A lot of people will take this as factual, and you either know better or you damned well should. Shame on you.
