I'm inclined to believe not likely; but maybe he had an ounce of sympathy and decided to since others were depending on Poe.

Probably Mr. Ellis knows the hard times between Edgar and Mr. Allan: 'cause of this, Mr. Ellis chose to avoid the request Edgar sent him, not because "the boy has to find his own path by he's own hands" - I truly hope he was not so despicable - but because paying the credit means going on Edgar' side, against Allan , an old friend and respectable "high society" member. Poe was just the foster child and his misbehaving was never accepted or understood by others: Mr. Allan by first. Thank you so much for this video 🖤

This channel should have way way more subs

It's my sad guess that the credit was not given to him ;-(

Were I to cast an actor in the role of Edgar A. Poe, I might select between two choices: George Blagden (Versailles), and Tom Felton (The Forgotten Battle). The former looks very much like Poe in the McDougall portrait; the latter has a similar physiognomy. Both are about the same height, have blue-grey eyes, and are in their thirties.

Loved this segment Chris! Always interesting to hear about Poe's friends and family relationships. I feel like there was so much more to his personality than most people know.

Really wonderful to hear about this other side of Edgar ;-)

excellent presentation ...thanks , learned a lot about this very intriguing artist.

The photograph on glass looks like a fake.

Awesome to see these things properly conserved and cared for. Thank you!

I agree with the decisions of both conservators in their preserving these historic pieces. I especially am grateful to the one who restored the portrait and removed the document from the back to preserve it. I feel her excitement about possibly finding another treasure, and although she found nothing, we would never know if she had not looked. Thanks once again.

So great to see the close up comparisons of the before and after conservation! Brilliant work by the conservator on the photo on glass and the painting! These are priceless. I prefer the "happy Poe " by the way. Another enjoyable Curator's Crypt, thank you!!👏👏 And Happy Birthday to Edgar 🎉😺

Poor Edgar--always looking for love in all the wrong places ;-( I love the painting and the conservator did a wonderful job--happy birthday to Edgar Kitty ;-)

Anyone from Air University??

This made my day!!!❤

i watching this for a reading competition 😢 im so shyyy

Nice ! I imagine him polka dancing now. If you have details about his marriage, I’d appreciate very much. Thanks.

We would appreciate a tiny paper tissue from Edgar also 🖤 He was very gentle and kind - many people said this about him - and he was very pleasant to talk with (ladies said that 😏) Sadly, the events with his late fiancee were very complicated and distorted by "family affairs". Probably it was a difficult time Edgar went through but, in our opinion, his personality was not altered by it, not enough to change his kindness and affability. Thank you so much for this "gift" 🙏

How does someone do what you do? Obviously go to college, but what road of study did you do?

I'm watching because I f-ing love this poem

Ill always love this poem

It seems as though it just wasn't meant to be, for Poe and Elmira Shelton to be together. In one hand, I can understand why her daughter didn't want Poe as a stepfather. But Elmira did love him after all. Thank you Chris, great video!

skibidi toilet

honestly i see where Anne Elizabeth is coming from

Thank you for taking your time and teaching us more about this intriguing legend.

I learn a lot from you Sir. Thank you for your relevant informations !

What a priceless acquisition to the Poe Museum , it was so cool seeing this letter Chris!! I grew up not far from Tarrytown and we got to see Sunnyside, Washington Irving's home by the Hudson River.❤❤

Love these Chris ❤

She got the date of death wrong.

I always considered William Wilson a generally better tale than Usher because of the psychological depth and references to Poe's private life. It's better than Jekyll and Hyde for me, leaves a huge room for interpretation. But I think that those tales are somehow connected. I love the symbolism of the manor in WW, the amount of hiding places symbolize the recesses of the mind to me. In both tales the houses are "alive", like the mind. When it comes to Irving, I'm surprised that Poe said those harsh words about him, because some of his tales are truly brilliant and they remind me of Poe's stories so much. For example "The Adventure of a German Student", "The Story of a Young Italian" - sure, Poe would use more complicated, sophisticated language (which is sometimes too much for a common reader), but Irving's style of writing is charming and he had very dark, rich imagination too. By the way, you said that Poe wrote some long reviews of Irving for the magazine, do you know if it's available to read and where can I get it?

Edgar, the Poe Museum cat, is very cute while doing Edgar, the Poe Museum, cat stuff

Neat acquisition! I consider Irving's "The Adventure of the German Student" to be the equal of Poe's better tales.

Fascinating! Thank you!

Theres been many .. but the original no doubt was my uncle. Ill never say his name but he is dead now.

The best narrator

Great job Chris, Poe certainly had an intriguing list of ladies in his life! I've always been convinced that his wife Virginia was his soul mate, although there are arguments to be made for some of the others. A close second for me is Sarah Elmira Shelton- the young thwarted love, then years later, a second chance.

This is creepy for middle school students. A murder scene sensitized for reader or listener appeal. Hhmmmm🧐

Fascinating. Thanks.

Happy Friday the 13th Poe Museum!

So interesting! Thank you!

I think that Virginia Clemm was Poe's soulmate, but he and Sarah Helen Whitman would have made an entertaining couple.

he ate this up i fear

One day that book shall be mine , I am not jealous at all!!!

I love Poe thank you. Maybe one day I can visit the museum that would be so cool!

Foenem grave dis dat sh 💯💯💯💯💯

Great run through of the various “Poeformances” and agree with the ratings given. I think Melling was brave to have given the accent a shot. Bravo to all. 👏👏👏🖤

Watching this for english homework 😢

Your sense of humor 😂❤

I saw Edgar who found a mouse and played it to death. 😂 I didn't see Pluto. I heard he had some teeth pulled so wasn't feeling well. My kitty just went through that too. The black kitties were the highlight for me because I have a black kitty too.
