Synopsis

"Poe: The Raven's Call" is a gripping biopic that explores the enigmatic life of Edgar Allan Poe, from his haunting childhood to his troubled adulthood. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century America, the film chronicles Poe's relentless pursuit of literary excellence amidst personal demons and societal pressures. Born into poverty, young Edgar is haunted by the premature death of his mother and the abandonment of his father. As he grows, his passion for writing becomes both his solace and his obsession, leading him to challenge the conventions of his time with his macabre tales and mesmerizing poetry. Despite his literary acclaim, Poe's life is fraught with tragedy and despair. His tumultuous relationships, including his ill-fated marriage to his beloved Virginia, and his battles with addiction and mental illness, threaten to consume him. Yet, through it all, Poe's indomitable spirit and unparalleled creativity continue to shine.

Description of Rufus Wilmot Griswold:

Rufus Wilmot Griswold was an American anthologist, editor, poet, and critic. Born in Vermont, Griswold left home when he was 15 years old. He worked as a journalist, editor, and critic in Philadelphia, New York City, and elsewhere. He built a strong literary reputation, in part due to his 1842 collection The Poets and Poetry of America. This anthology, the most comprehensive of its time, included what he deemed the best examples of American poetry. He produced revised versions and similar anthologies for the remainder of his life, although many of the poets he promoted have since faded into obscurity.
