EDGAR ALLAN POE

There is so much to write about Edgar Allan Poe. It would take this entire blog to digress his character. Here are some links to his works and their explanations. I hope that you'll be able to learn from each of these postings and further understand not just Edgar Allan Poe, but his writings as well.

The first link is to the museum of Poe that is located in Richmond, Virginia. I took a class of eighth graders there one year and learned a great deal. It was a very enlightening field trip.

  1. I hope you enjoyed the story "The Tell-Tale Heart." Although Edgar Allan Poe's literature is difficult to understand at times, I think we did a great job in class dissecting and analyzing his character as well as the old man and the narrator in the story.
