Occurring in a time of primitive medicine and inconsistent record-keeping, Poe's death has become one of the enduring mysteries of American literature. David F. Gaylin's book marks the first attempt to offer a comprehensive and balanced study of this historical event. After chronicling the circumstances that may have contributed to the poet's death, the book examines key details about the story. It traces Poe's movements and personal encounters before also exploring how Poe was handled and treated by others who attempted to come to his aid. Proceeding with the liveliness of a detective story, the discussion sheds new light on these events, and it offers new information about the burial of Poe's body and the subsequent relocations of his tomb. With the addition of supplementary reference materials including a register of formally proposed causes of death, a timeline of relevant events, and a map of Poe's final movements in Baltimore, this book is an essential resource for both scholars and general readers seeking answers to the mystery of Poe's death.
