About this listen
American short-story writer and poet Edgar Allen Poe is a literary legend who needs no introduction. "Eleonora", first published in 1842 in the literary journal The Gift, is a quintessential Poe short story and is a masterful and beautiful tale interwoven with love, beauty, nature, and death.
What is considered an autographical piece, the story centers around a young couple in love in a wonderful and isolated valley of beauty, until illness changes everything and the valley, too, begins to lose its luster.
Many believe this story is a reflection of what Poe was experiencing with his wife, Virginia, as she fell ill, and was a way for Poe to deal with the guilt he may have been experiencing when thinking about finding love after her death. "Eleonora" is a glimpse into Poe's inner self that is rarely revealed in his more macabre works.
