It sounds from the many questions that certain teachers have thrown their students to the wolves, possibly to distract them from srpring fever. If you need immediate sources on the net start off with the Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore, one of the best no-nonsense, scholarly and researched sites on the entire web(www.eapoe.org). There are essays and and letters and articles by Poe himself and his complete works in all available textual versions. Their assessment of good biographies of Poe is invaluable if you need to look something up in the library. This site and the Poe Decoder site offer a good selection of special articles.

More satisfaction might be had from a good Poe biography or surf the www.eapoe.org website on Poe's life. I believe he needed at the end to express the meaning of the dissolution he was experiencing(Eureka) and achieve some sort of understanding or peace.
