@poeshowpodcast: Fact checking myths about Edgar Allan Poe myths! This one was riddled with a lot of misinformation, and I just had to take some time to correct it.
It should also be noted that being an acholic by today's standards and by the standards of the time Poe was alive are two very different things. Poe was likely considered just an average drinker at the time. However, by today's standards he would definitely be considered an alcoholic today. The same goes for Ulysses S. Grant.

I’m not sure how I got dropped off in the middle of a feud about the history of Edgar Allan Poe, but I’m not mad about this at all. Thank you so much for the information!

I'm guessing that person used AI for their script instead of doing their own research

Haven't seen this guy in a while. I think I blocked him when he made a video about a topic I was familiar with. I'm not that good at remembering which creators lack credibility so I just block them so I don't accidentally watch or promote misinformation

Also his wife wrote him a letter about a year before his passing and she addressed him as "Edgar Allen Poe". There's a couple of documentaries that are spreading these unfacts.

I 100% think he was rugged to help with the local election seeing as he was completely inebriated and had someone else's clothes on 😢

There’s a lot of debate of the nature of Poe and Virginia’s marriage but to just bluntly claim anything is wild bc that we simply don’t know. To just bluntly claim abuse is even wilder because we have no evidence of that!

I know in high school my English teacher compared my poetry to Edgar Allen Poe's. I'm a very depressed individual who wasn't medicated then 😂
