Poe and Democracy

About this episode

Send us Fan Mail

Welcome back to Celebrate Poe - This is episode 254 - Poe’s Views on Democracy.  Today I would like to talk with Mr. Poe about his views of government - and especially about what he might have thought about the specter of Donald Trump.   I had previously been under the impression that Edgar Allan Poe was somewhat reactionary in his political views - coming from a wealthy and rather privileged background in the South -  but after doing a great deal of research, I was surprised at how nuanced his views actually were.

Enjoy this pre-July 4th episode.
