Garth, that one was a much better example - someone even left a comment asking if this was "really him? Like really him talking?" Hopefully someone will explain to him how advanced film technology was prior to 1849.

Still, it's not as life-like as ones of Walt Whitman and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Definitely make sure to find them!

Yes! There's another one of Poe that is a better reading than Rathbone's and a better animation as well:

There's also one out there of Wilde as well.

I've seen "The Edgar Allan Poe Incident" before - complete nonsense yet utterly hysterical! "Suddenly we heard a rustling as if someone's quickly hustling... looking for some chick." That's amateur comedy gold!

While we're on YouTube, have you seen these "Poetry Animations"? Here's one with Poe. The idea is that these are supposed to look like "found" films of poets reading their poetry, as if such a thing were possible in 1849. They've got that old-timey feel and, though Poe's isn't that great, the ones with Longfellow and Walt Whitman are eerily realistic. I got a real kick out of them the first time I saw them.

you guys have got to see this. It's hysterical! I think it was some sort of English project. It's a hoot.

You can search it on Youtube by "The Edgar Allan Poe Incident"

Matthew Pearl (author of the mystery novel "The Poe Shadow") set up this Poe discussion forum. It's not very active right now but it comes in pretty heavy bursts of passionate conversation.
