Introduction
Edgar Allan Poe has been buried alive - he is brought back to life, 'in the spirit'.
Examples of his poetry and a tale follow - then the first Act continues with biography, an excerpt, plus more peoms, ending with his age at 17, and three poems.
In the second half, the biography continues interspersed with excerpts from tales, poems, quotations, letters - all neatly woven together towards a climatic ending and final summing up from Poe's 'spirit'.
