About this source
A sharply critical contemporary obituary signed “Ludwig,” identified by the Edgar Allan Poe Society as Rufus Wilmot Griswold. Its biographical stories, judgments and claims about Poe are the author’s assertions, not verified archive findings. The conclusion expressly says the circumstances of death were not known to the writer. Includes Annabel Lee and a quotation from The Raven.
