"The Home Life of Poe" by Susan Archer Talley Weiss is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the private, domestic life of the influential American poet and writer, Edgar Allan Poe, rather than focusing on his career or literary achievements. It aims to provide a deeper understanding of Poe's character through insights from those who knew him and accounts of his family life. The beginning of the narrative provides a glimpse into Poe's early years, detailing his childhood and the circumstances surrounding his upbringing after the death of his mother. It begins with a recollection from the author's mother, noting a memorable encounter with the young Poe, who was a spirited child living in the care of his mother and an old nurse. This early portion sets the stage for an exploration of his home life, including his adoption by John Allan and the complexities of his family relationships that would follow. The author emphasizes the importance of these familial connections in understanding Poe's character and foreshadows the struggles he would face throughout his life influenced by these early experiences.
