Welcome to Celebrate Poe - episode 261 - The War of 1812 Revisited. This is a look back at the highest rated - at least audience wise - podcast episode of Celebrate Poe so far - with almost 500 downloads.

Now, historian Alan Taylor, the author of The Civil War of 1812: American Citizens, British Subjects, Irish Rebels, and Indian Allies, writes that America and Britain were incompletely separated by the American Revolution. The War of 1812 completed that separation.

And Mr. Bartley and Mr. Poe argue about the meaning of "Poecentric."

Welcome to Celebrate Poe - this is episode 260 - the Wilmer Manuscript Collection.

When you think of Edgar Allan Poe, what works come to mind? Perhaps The Raven or Annabel Lee - or one of his many stories such as The Cask of Amontillado, The Tell-Tale Heart, Berenice, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Murders in the Rue Morgue or the Wilmer Manuscript Collection - well, maybe not the Wilmer Manuscript Collection - actually the Wilmer Manuscript Collection might be totally new to you - but hopefully not after this episode.

This the final episode of a series that looks at what might have happened if Edgar Allan Poe had chosen a different path - if he had decided to become a soldier after his time at West Point, and not one of the greatest of all American writers. And we invariably go off to discuss other subjects as well including the creative process and how Mr. Poe responded to the structured environment of the military.
