I never heard about Griswold until watching The Fall of The House of Usher on Netflix and looking up the info. So I didn’t know of him until a series based on Poes work introduced me to him. Life is sweetly ironic at times huh
I did my dissertation on Poe. Medical experts have analyzed the details of his death, and have surmised that he actually died of rabies, which would explain the disorientation, during which time he could have been mugged. One of the main symptoms which pointed to rabies is that he developed severe hydrophobia (fear of water, meaning patients refuse to drink it, hastening their demise), so he might have been bitten by a rabid animal and become infected. There is no cure if left untreated. His last recorded words, per the medical staff attending him, were, "Lord, have mercy on my poor soul." R.I.P.
His Dr did not state that he had hydrophobia, but that he had difficulty swallowing water, which could be a symptom of many maladies. To extrapolate difficulty swallowing to rabies is quite a stretch, and certainly doesn't fit with his other symptoms. Death from rabies carries many other more pronounced symptoms that he did not present.
Every woman in his life that he loved died from TB. And he like so many writers and artist, wasn't famous until long after his own death. His life was truly sad.

Hello and Happy New Year from Texas... I've read many of E. A. Poe's poems and short stories. Much is dark, but not all. Yes he may have been depressed, but he was also a hopeful romantic. I think he was a tortured soul, yes. But he was charismatic and intelligent and handsome. I'm not sure why we should look at such a hard life as the cup half empty and judgemental. I pray that people be able to see their own souls in a better light. 🙏✝️🇬🇷❤️🥰
I won't ask anything of you but to consider letting your pain drip onto the page. Let it be what it wishes, and for the struggle to not be in vain, no matter how things go.
I've always loved his work... Oddly enough, since I was a young girl! Looking back it doesn't seem like a young girl would like his work! Oh well I guess I've always liked dark stories and poetry.. There will never be another like EA Poe !!!
I have a friend who's a descendant of his,I'm not sure if it's a direct descendant or not but she even has some belongings of his! This little cigar box with his name engraved and some other stuff! Very cool stuff!
That's strange, my brother's fiance is also related to him but by a mile. We did ancestry DNA tests for Christmas and found out she was related to him, the whole family was shook🤣
He was a genius writer. An older school Alfred Hitchcock. They made HO video games based on his poems and writings. The Premature Burial is one of my favorites. Poor soul. May he RIP.
not saying its good to marry children but, im pretty sure he did it so she wouldnt get married off with some random guy, and it was less weird back then so yeah
@@me-lz7jb if you know history you know that back then ,that was not weird at all. Now days and rightfully so we recognize what's wrong with such actions.
So here's what happened to Edgar. It's truly tragic. His cousin wife passed away. He loved her! He adored his Auntie! In his youth he fell in love with a lovely young miss. But unfortunately Edgar ratted out his adoptive father to his adoptive mother. What happened, extra marital affair. Well the sweet little misses father refused to let his sweet baby marry a penniless, individual who couldn't keep male family secrets....secret! So he marries her off to a very well to do individual. Propriety in those days WAS everything! I believe she was treated quite well. Now we skip ahead. Her husband passes away leaving her quite well to do. So I am not sure how Edgar found out but he did his own true love was free! He corresponded with her, his heart was overflowing with love for her. It was just an added plus that her pockets were padded. So he agrees to come to Philadelphia, (I believe that's the right city). Anyway there is another handsome eligible male who wishes to wed the lovely widowed Mrs! Who was NOT above arranging a murder for hire. Then there also is a pair of body snatchers who had quite the lucrative business. Now I will cross the T's. The lucrative business boys. How the elegant young gentleman ran into one of the body snatchers I can't definitively remember....at a bar? Coffee house? Seedy side of town. It came about in conversation. A murder for hire. They agreed to meet. He proposed pointing him (the victim) out when he arrives on a certain time carriage. Delighted at the chance to make money, he went to meet his partner in crime. The other half of the partnership, (the business of supplying corpses for a medical school) was meeting with their current employer, who was quite irrate, HE wanted a fresh body! He had prospective students coming and he needed to make a good impression! So here comes the partner and says "hey, you look distraught!" So he tells his partner about needing a fresh corpse. He the other partner tells him about the murder for hire. Perfect solves both our problems! So partner one comes up with a plan, when Poe gets off of the carriage he bumps into him. Introduces himself and Wants to buy him a drink. Poe tells him he's going to met up with his fiance, he's getting married. Then the fellow insists on buying him a drink. Poe is drugged. He gets taken to the partners business place. He poisons Poe. Poe's liver and kidneys are dying. He's in delirium. He's lying down. The other half of the business comes in. He looks at POE, looks really happy! Then startled! He says "I know this guy! I LOVE THIS GUY!" IT'S POE!" The other guy says looking confused "who is POE?" The other one says "That journalist! The writer! The poet!" The one we go to listen to! He's famous!" Then reality hits them. Now they're in true trouble. He's a well known figure! Loved by all! They have gone down an irreversible avenue, he's dying. There's nothing, no antidote...just a painful death ahead for this man, and they ARE to blame. Now they needed to get rid of him. So they bought him to a seedy part of town took him to a table and put a drink in front of him. Poe is very groggy, doesn't know where he is or how he got there. He's feeling like utter he'll. He gets up from the chair. Staggers through the door, he's very, very unsteady. An acquaintance recognizes him, thankfully he's a doctor. He knows that POE is known for drinking, but this doesn't seem right, something is severely wrong. He brings him to his home. He asks POE what happened? The only thing POE remembers is that name of the person he last talked to. The man who bought him a drink. Now I believe he died after being in a state of delirium. One or two weeks. I gave the facts I was shown. Not everything. There's more to the beginning. My guess as to who leaves the rose and bottle of liquor. Someone who loved him, or someone who regretted their part in his murder. A friend of that Auntie who loved him. ANCESTORS. Now you know.
I’m pretty sure most of the poor population in that era had it very rough. According to all the documentaries,etc. life was not a cake walk for anyone without substantial means.
Poe and his cousin spent their first night in a tavern in Petersburg, VA. It later became a Poe-themed coffee shop that my daughter and I visited. I hear it has since closed.
Wait, why you telling people you don't know that you're becoming obsessed. Are you just some teenage girl seeking attention? Teenage girls and their obsessions Kum & go. Next week you'll be obsessed with something else.
An as his strength failed him at length, he met a pilgrim shadow , Shadow said he where can it be , this land called Eldorado? Over the valleys of the moon an down the valley of the shadows , The shade replied if you seek Eldorado!
@NEPTUNE'S OTHER DAUGHTER: I imagine that is an obsolete medical term. If that wasn't a misdiagnosis, I wonder what the modern medical term would be for that. I would like to know the answer. 🤓
I feel ya Poe. I too roam about incoherent in the streets of Baltimore. Typically it’s because I’m exhausted from this antichrist like toddler with the energy of a thousand suns, but still. Same same 🤧😔
Just clarifying Mrs Frances Allan fully supported Edgar, but after her death his remaining guardian, John Allan, who was very austere withdraw all support and they became stranged
His dad didn't leave him both his parents died when he was 3 and he died from rabies, he married his 13 year old cousin to bring what family he did have closer together and her mother lived with them always his aunt.
I have heard he may have been the victim of cooping, it was a practice where a voter would be given alcohol to vote illegally in disguises multiple times in those days. If he had severe alcohol poisoning, that could cause severe distress and brain death.
Amazing, Philadelphia. I thought he was from Baltimore. There were so many diseases people died from back then: TB (consumption), typhus, rabies, etc. Poe died at the age of 40 in Baltimore. That’s what makes the Dutchman van Leeuwenhoek so astounding: he lived almost 200 years before Poe, and died at the age of 90! That’s 90 years of never seeing a doctor.
And what about him possibly being allergic to alcohol or had a hard time breaking down the enzymes. That is why he really actually didn't drink often because one sip made him seem wasted.
He did from rabies. This is medically deduced post mortem. He died ar a hospital near the intersection of e. N. Broadway and Baltimore streets, blocks from jhh.
his mom and aunt/mother in law also got tuberculosis, so he lost every woman in his life the same way, he struggled with alcoholism for most of his life too, and he was SOUTHERN😭😭
I’m here after watching The Fall Of The House of Usher and I’m finally starting to understand some Easter eggs! The young Roderick in the series has a Striking resemblance to Edgar Allen Poe and His crooked boss who through him to the woods name was Rufus Griswold 😮
Poe might have been an alcoholic when he was younger but quite literally became allergic to alcohol! And yes there are ppl out there that have this type of allergy, rare tho it may be. Science proved this after his death.
Poe married his 13 year old cousin? I didn't know that. While it upsets me, it was a period where science and discoveries weren't so advanced like today so people couldn't know it's a hurtful behavior. Or did they know?
In his younger year he rose to the rank of Seargent Major in the US Army and successfully entered West Point but was court martialed and kicked out,. When he was a boy his family lived in Stoke Newington London England, to start a business. He lived there for two years, before going back to the U.S. If he wasn't such a hopeless waster, we would not have one of the most influential writers in gothic literature. The irony
Everyone knows Poe, no one remembers Griswold. Poetic justice.

It is possible Poe died of late-onset rabies (not alcohol poisoning).
Though his life was hard and unjust his poetry is loved and embraced...in my opinion to greatest poet Ever..
Poe is a distant cousin. I always felt a little sad for him.
Hmmmm extra related…since he kept it in the family….?
I'm also relate to the point Virginia's name is still in the family
@@rogeliopeguero6357he never had kids. Any relation to him would be through his other cousins

Edgar Allan Poe died from complications due to rabies.
Paul Harvey presented Poe's symptoms in his Rest of the Story series, very well told and convincing.
I'd bet that Poe also had TB in a form that invaded his bones as well as his lungs.
The worst kind.
for those who do not know

FACTS...
Sorta like Jerry Lee Lewis (22) and Myra (13), his first cousin once removed.
Great info but don’t lower your voice at the end of each fact please
The people that raised him what his aunt and uncle. That seemed like an easy bit to add
Maybe we should start combing the universities for a depressed morphine addict
