From the press release to their new exhibit focusing on Poe...
Poe's poems, including "The Raven" and "The Bells," are among the most memorable in the language, and his stories, among them "The Pit and the Pendulum" and "The Masque of the Red Death," continue to frighten and amaze.
"Visitors will be struck by the range of material in the show, especially the number of manuscripts in Poe's meticulous hand," said Molly Schwartzburg, curator of British and American literature at the Ransom Center. "Poe himself was fascinated by documents, letters, codes and the idea of discovery. In putting together this show, I think we've all felt a thrill as we've come across unexpected treasures, such as Poe's copy of 'Aesop's Fables' and frantic love letters."
Exhibition highlights include Poe's writing desk, letters by and about the author, records of his student days at the University of Virginia, a brooch containing his hair, manuscripts of landmark works such as "The Raven" and the original art for Arthur Rackham's illustrated edition of "Tales of Mystery & Imagination." The exhibition will also contain an interactive digital facsimile of the scroll manuscript of the "Domain of Arnheim."
