Living Poe Girl Part I
In honor of October and the bicentennial of Edgar Allan Poe, S. J. Chambers has posted the first of a really remarkable 4 part series on Tor.com.
Entitled Living Poe Girl, this series examines the role of Poe's women in his writing. Part I, "Objects of Desire," opens the discussion with "Berenice" (1835), "Morella" (1835), "Ligeia" (1838), “Eleonora” (1841) and "The Oval Portrait" (1842). The writing is both concise and detailed, with useful footnotes for those so inclined.
Anyone interested in a thought-provoking, rather feminist look at Poe should check out this series ASAP. I certainly intend to keep up with it!
