Title: The Reason for the Darkness of the Night Author: John Tresch Narrator: Paul Woodson Format: mp3 Length: 14 hrs and 12 mins Release date: 06-15-21 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 33 ratings Genres: History & Philosophy Publisher's Summary: John Tresch offers a bold new biography of a writer whose short, tortured life continues to fascinate. Shining a spotlight on an era when the lines separating entertainment, speculation, and scientific inquiry were blurred, Tresch reveals Poe's obsession with science and lifelong ambition to advance and question human knowledge. He remained an avid and often combative commentator on new discoveries, publishing and hustling in literary scenes that also hosted the era's most prominent scientists, semi-scientists, and pseudo-intellectual rogues.
