A Tale of the Ragged Mountains
by Edgar Allan Poe
The Tale of the Ragged Mountains covers the scientific theories of the Poe period, interacts with British imperial history, and anticipates contemporary interest in psychoactive medicines, soul migration, and the dynamics of doctor-patient relationships. This is a short story based in part on the experience of Edgar Allan Poe while studying at the University of Virginia. Set near Charlottesville, the film is just one of his stories set in Virginia.
