In this riveting program, the tragedy-laden life and literary genius of Edgar Allan Poe are explored by Poe biographers Jeffrey

State University; writers Ray Bradbury and Poppy Z. Brite; filmmaker Wes Craven; and Jeff Jerome, curator of The Baltimore Poe

of �The Pit and the Pendulum,� �The Fall of the House of Usher,� �The Raven,� �Ligeia,� and �The Tell-Tale Heart,� makes this 
documentary an essential part of any survey of 19th-century American literature or genre fiction. A Discovery University
