Boston-born author Edgar Allan Poe had a bone to pick with the literary culture of Boston--especially Transcendentalism.

In his critical reviews, Poe disapproved of their beliefs and directly attacked people like Ralph Waldo Emerson and his followers. In his fiction, he also included biting satires of the movement. Hear from Poe himself, portrayed by literary historian Rob Velella, as he takes aim at the Transcendentalists.

Rob Velella is a literary historian who writes about 19th-Century American literary figures including Margaret Fuller, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Walt Whitman. He dramatically brings to life authors Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe.
