A post that synthesizes Poe's life quite well, a life that is certainly dramatic; his death somehow matches his vision of life and his work. Beyond his difficult moments of economic hardship, abandonment of his natural and adoptive father, death of mother and wife, mistreatment at work, etc., the most important thing in his life will be his work, especially the narrative. About his contributions to modern literature, I wrote two posts for this blog (I don't know if you read them) a few weeks ago. I focused on it because its role in universal literary modernity is capital. Thank you for your article, @honeydue.
