The Loves of Edgar Allan Poe (1942)

The Loves of Edgar Allan Poe

Surpassing his startling stories of dark emotions, comes the true drama of his own life and tempestuous loves!

The Loves of Edgar Allan Poe is a 1942 Drama directed by Harry Lachman, starring Linda Darnell and Shepperd Strudwick.

Watch the Movie!

Edgar Allan Poe led an unhappy childhood, broken only by the unceasing devotion of his foster mother, Mrs. Frances Allan, whose loving ministrations gave him courage to carry out his desire to write. His first love was Elmira Royster, and though she married another while he was at the University of Virginia, he could never purge his thoughts of her and, under the influence of her spell, he poured out the deepest passions of his heart. After a discouraging period during which he was disowned by his foster father and lost his appointment to West Point, he found the love that tamed his restless heart with Virginia Clemm. After he and Virginia married, Poe did his greatest creative work, writing for the Southern Literary Messenger and Graham's Magazine.Written by Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
