The Unknown Edgar Allan Poe - 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.comHaunting Poe: His Afterlife in Richmond and Beyond - https://shop.poemuseum.org/Haunting-Poe-p458518272Edgar Allan Poe Museum - https://poemuseum.orgEdgar and Tib - https://www.instagram.com/poemuseumcats/Hop-Frog - https://poestories.com/read/hop-frogThe Cask of Amontillado - https://poestories.com/read/amontilladoThe Tell-Tale Heart - https://poestories.com/read/telltaleheartThree Sundays in a Week - https://www.eapoe.org/works/tales/sundyb.htmGodey’s Lady’s Magazine - https://web.colby.edu/bookhistory2020/2018/03/05/origins-of-godeys-ladys-magazine/Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Henry-Wadsworth-LongfellowC.
