Richard Kopley, author of the recent critical biography Edgar Allan Poe: A Life (University of Virginia Press), will introduce and present a series of extracts to depict “Poe in Richmond in 1836.” The extracts will include passages from long-lost letters from 1908. Kopley will offer a description of young Poe, an account of his wedding to Virginia, a rendering of his friend John’s Darby Town farm, a sketch of the Poes’ apartment, a narrative about Poe’s drinking; an elaboration of the joy of the Poes at Darby Town, as well as a passage about Darby Town drawn from Poe’s tale, “Eleonora.”
