The Unknown Edgar Allan Poe - Chris Semtner

About this episode

This episode explores the lesser-known aspects of Edgar Allan Poe's life and personality with guest Chris Semtner.

Dr. Lynn Price Robbins and Isaac S. Loftus sit down with author and fine artist Chris Semtner to explore the lesser-known side of Edgar Allan Poe. Best remembered as the dark, brooding voice behind “The Raven,” Poe was far more than a master of the macabre. This episode reveals a witty, charming, and surprisingly scientific thinker whose personality—and ideas—challenge everything you thought you knew about him.   Please support this podcast by checking out our patreon: www.patreon.com/primarysourcemedia   EPISODE LINKS: Chris Semtner – https://chrissemtner.com Haunting Poe: His Afterlife in Richmond and Beyond - https://shop.poemuseum.org/Haunting-Poe-p458518272 Edgar Allan Poe Museum - https://poemuseum.org Edgar and Tib - https://www.instagram.com/poemuseumcats/ Hop-Frog - https://poestories.com/read/hop-frog The Cask of Amontillado - https://poestories.com/read/amontillado The Tell-Tale Heart - https://poestories.com/read/telltaleheart Three Sundays in a Week - https://www.eapoe.org/works/tales/sundyb.htm Godey’s Lady’s Magazine - https://web.colby.edu/bookhistory2020/2018/03/05/origins-of-godeys-ladys-magazine/ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow…
