Autorenporträt
Susan Archer Talley Weiss (1822-1917) was an American writer, poet, and personal acquaintance of the eminent literary figure Edgar Allan Poe. Throughout her career, Weiss contributed significantly to the literary world through her articles, poems, and particularly her insightful account of one of literature's most enigmatic figures in her book 'The Home Life of Poe,' published in 1907. Her work is distinguished by its intimate portrayal of Poe's domestic life, shedding light on his character and personal relationships, and has often been noted for its compassionate perspective, possibly as a result of her own friendship with Poe in her youth. Weiss's literary style combines a personal touch with a nostalgic remembrance, which provides a unique vantage point, separating her work from that of purely academic studies. Her contributions extend beyond a single literary piece, encompassing various essays and poems that have been featured in notable periodicals of her time. Weiss's firsthand account in 'The Home Life of Poe' serves not only as a memoir of Poe's last years but also as a valuable source for Poe scholars, albeit her narrations may come under scrutiny for subjective bias due to her close relationship with the subject. Nonetheless, Susan Archer Talley Weiss remains an important figure for her contributions to the legacy of Edgar Allan Poe and 19th-century American literature.
