THE ORPHAN

on Third Programme

A study of Edgar Allan Poe
1809-1849 by PATRIC DICKINSON
The extracts from
Poe's prose and verse read by Anthony Quayle
Others taking part include
Nicolette Bernard , Hugh Dickson Denis Goacher , John Graham James Langham , David March Norman Shelley , David Spenser Production by Joe Burroughs
Patric Dickinson writes: 'Edgar Allan Poe ' has his certain place in the history of literature. But he is known to have signed himself Edgar Allan Poe only twice in his life. So much lies behind this rather enigmatic fact that I can do little more than touch upon this brilliant erratic man and his work.
