Link to Edgar Allan Poe, love death woman documentary
Documentary Description
Crime novelist Denise Mina presents a rumination on the life and work of Poe, with particular focus on the intense and – not infrequently– weird relationships the author and poet conducted with the women in his life. As Mina pursues her story between New York, Baltimore and various bits of Virginia, dramatised reconstructions illuminate the connection between Poe's enduringly potent fiction and his peculiar personal life – not the least of which was marrying his 13-year-old cousin when he was twice her age.
