Poe and Madness

Many of Edgar Allan Poe's most popular tales explore the subject of madness. Ever interested in the newest scientific advances, Poe examined the minds of insane narrators and commented on the state of mental hospitals during his time. This presentation from the Poe Museum takes a look at these works to discover Poe's own thoughts on mental illness and the fine line between sanity and madness.
