EDGAR ALLAN POE

Building on Poe’s belief that poetry should be at once beautiful and filled with music, five costumed actors recite his lines with verve as they move through the rooms of an old house. Along the way, the five also talk briefly about Poe’s life and the inspiration for some of his best-known works. Poems presented include "To Helen," "To My Mother," "Israfel," "Eldorado," "The Haunted Palace," "Annabel Lee," "The Conqueror Worm," "Evening Star," "The Raven," and "The City in the Sea." Grades 4 and up. Color. 33 minutes. Monterey. ©2000.
