About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Home Life of Poe by Susan Archer Weiss. Read in English by Ciufi Galeazzi The author of this biography of Poe, Susan Weiss, describes her work as follows: "I have not treated Poe in his character of poet or author, but confined myself to his private home-life, domestic and social, as I have heard it described by Poe's most intimate friends who knew him from infancy—some of them my own relatives—and from my own brief knowledge of him in the last three months of his life." - Summary by Ciufi Galeazzi
