Description
Edgar Allan Poe is a popular American writer known for his detective stories, horror novels, and poems. He was not only a talented man of letters, but also an avid student of science.
In the book “The Causes of Night Darkness,” John Treesh tells about Poe’s life, his fascination with scientific research, and his desire to cast doubt on human knowledge. Poe was an active participant in discussions of new discoveries and published in literary circles where scientists and fraudsters appeared.
Treesh shows that many of Poe’s creative works are best understood through the lens of science. He was a figure of contradiction: exposing scientific fraudsters, yet using mystifications in his own works.
