I am an avid Poe buff and was directed to the articles earlier, myself! <br />But yes, it is startling!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083084222355114149.post-60889439652693254792011-04-02T21:12:55.524-07:002011-04-02T21:12:55.524-07:00maudelynn, I read your insightful post thanks to a...maudelynn, I read your insightful post thanks to a friend's link on GR. I am shocked, utterly shocked. I read this book before I was aware of the issue, however. Had I known, I most likely never would have purchased it or read it. I have not read the older one to compare myself, but I do not like what others have pointed out to me. Truly, I am surprised.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11015131255166542986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083084222355114149.post-84548947352777235402011-04-02T21:03:21.026-07:002011-04-02T21:03:21.026-07:00It is too bad it is nearly a word for word "c...It is too bad it is nearly a word for word "copy" of a book called The Very Young Mrs. Poe by Cothburn O'Neal <br />http://worldofpoe.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-little-longfellow-war.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083084222355114149.post-51934752336723749692011-03-10T10:30:56.616-08:002011-03-10T10:30:56.616-08:00This book is much more than its plot, its actions ...This book is much more than its plot, its actions proper. Rarely will you find in today's first-person narratives a story-teller who renders her subjective vision so well. <br />Never trust a first-person narrator; look for what the narrator does not understand and you will find in good work a richer, deeper story of an archetypal action--as you do here. <br />As someone commented elsewhere, it takes a novel to get to the soul--in this case of Poe, albeit it indirectly, which in itself is a neat trick, a great feat of craft and vision--of a historical character. As a great commentator on the ILIAD, said, a story is a higher truth than what actually happened. RAVEN'S BRIDE is a fully imagined narrative by a young, impressionable girl totally dedicated to Poe.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10509330725825752631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083084222355114149.post-76975736034934533032011-02-19T06:47:27.702-08:002011-02-19T06:47:27.702-08:00This one interests me, will patiently wait for the...This one interests me, will patiently wait for the library copies to arrive.
