About this episode
Welcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 291. Poe and the Outsider
In the previous episode the character of the ghost of Mr. Poe and I first discussed the Alien and Sedition Acts. First, I’d like to apologize I have a cold/flu, and just listened to my recorded voice - you will just have to bear with me. Of course, that gives the voice of the ghost of Mr. Poe - a Southern accent too
And here's the ghost of Mr. Poe -
Hello, Mr. Bartley - I believe you want to talk about the Alien and Sedition Acts, and how they indirectly affected my literary works. Now remember, while I was certainly born after the Alien and Sedition Acts were enacted and repealed, these laws quite possibly had an indirect influence on my writing and political views. Although they were no longer in effect during my Poe's lifetime, their legacy continued to shape political debates and attitudes towards government power.
