SUMMARY:Tell-Tale Talks Featuring: Joshua Barton
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Poe Museum on Wednesday\, April 8th for a Tell-Tale Talk featuring Professor Joshua Barton on “How beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken”: The Tarnished Mirror of Southern Gothic Literature. \n\n\n\n“How beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken”: The Tarnished Mirror of Southern Gothic Literature \n\n\n\nThis talk will introduce Southern Gothic fiction as a genre\, focusing on how its decaying settings\, eccentric characters\, and moral tension reveal the cultural anxieties of the postbellum American South. Moving beyond haunted houses and grotesqueries\, we will explore how writers like Edgar Allan Poe\, Flannery O’Connor\, and Tennessee Williams use distortion to expose themes of guilt and social decline. We’ll look at how the uncanny nature of Southern Gothic fiction often serves as a mirror to reflect the cultural and historical pressures of the American South\, while also offering a vicious critique of its past. Through this discussion\, Barton invite you to examine how the elements of these stories function as tools for social critique and psychological insight. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Joshua Barton: \n\n\n\nJoshua Barton is a professor of writing and literature and a lecturer on horror content of all kinds. He attended George Mason University as an undergraduate\, where he completed a BA in English in 2009; for his MA in literature\, he attended Southern New Hampshire University. His key area of academic research is horror literature\, with a particular focus on Gothic fiction\, haunted house stories\, and feminist horror. He has taught at American University\, George Mason University\, and Virginia Commonwealth University\, and developed horror literature courses with an emphasis on American monsters and cultural analysis. He is also a frequent collaborator with Profs & Pints\, where he has lectured on everything from Victorian ghost stories to folk horror to the link between romance and monsters.

SUMMARY:Tell-Tale Talks featuring: Richard Kopley
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, March 19 from 6:00 – 7:00pm in welcoming Richard Kopley as he discusses his new biography: Edgar Allan Poe: A Life\, published by the University of Virginia Press. \n\n\n\nThis is the first installment of our seven-part 2025 speaker series\, the Tell-Tale Talks. \n\n\n\n… \n\n\n\nAbout Edgar Allan Poe: A Life:  \n\n\n\n“Edgar Allan Poe: A Life is the most comprehensive critical biography of Poe yet produced\, exploring his fascinating life\, his extraordinary work\, and the vital relationship between the two. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre found in such works as “The Raven\,” “Annabel Lee\,” and “The Tell-Tale Heart\,” this legendary American author continues to intrigue and enthrall his devoted readers. Written by one of the world’s leading Poe experts\, this biography is a rich and rewarding study for the general reader as well as for the seasoned scholar. Richard Kopley combines a biographical narrative of Poe’s enduring challenges—including his difficult foster father\, his personal losses\, his great struggles with depression and alcoholism\, and the poverty that dogged his existence—with close readings of his work that focus not only on plot\, character\, and theme but also on language\, allusion\, and structure in a way that enhances our understanding of both. While incorporating past Poe scholarship\, this volume also relates unknown stories of Poe culled from privately held letters unavailable to previous biographers\, presenting a range of groundbreaking archival discoveries that illuminate the man and his oeuvre in ways never before possible.” -UVA PRESS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n… \n\n\n\nExhibits remain open. Wine available for purchase. \n\n\n\nEmail Nicole Coppino at nicole@poemuseum.org for media inquiries or any additional information.
