Dan, Poe wrote "To Helen" for Mrs. Jane Craig Stanard, probably around 1823. This was a woman he met through a school mate, I believe in his teenage years. I can't find any info on weather they were romantically involved or it was just a crush. Tim

Dan,

I attempted to e-mail a summary but the e-mail was either bad or a phoney e-mail. Sorry...

Regards,
