Poe's main thematic idea in a number of his poems/short stories: madness/obsession with a young woman (usually a dead one, but still); this idea seems to jive with this song.

Eggs This is perfect! “Dead woman, but still” 🤣🤣 10mo

For me, any EAP story is perfect for a storm, especially USHER: “The impetuous fury of the entering gust nearly lifted us from our feet. It was, indeed, a tempestuous yet sternly beautiful night, and one wildly singular in its terror and its beauty.“ His storms are characters in the stories. One's even entitled “The Maelstrom.“ #poelover

Andrew65 Excellent choice. 1y
Aimeesue We visited his rooms in Baltimore and his room at UVA over the past few years of living in Virginia. His rooms were really cramped, very low ceilings and the staircase was so narrow we had to take turns going up and down the stairs. 😁 1y
dabbe @Aimeesue Amazing! I have to get to Baltimore and see his residences(s). He hardly ever had any money, so that might explain the small place/rooms, but perhaps people were (dare I say) tinier back then too. 😀 1y

How I wish I had had this book when I was still teaching! Hayes has outdone himself with his intense and earnest research. One will learn not only the background of each story, but also visit the time periods, places, and people (real or imagined) that had an influence on Poe and added to his creations. For people who want to truly delve into the psyche of some of the most read and/or valued stories and poems of Poe, this is the book for you.
