Self-promotion? In support of space research or other advancements. In the cause of literary quality or launching his new magazine "The Pen".

Quite right. Another of Poe's major public and "political" subjects was his permanent strong request (and fight!)for a law on International Copyright, as well as for independance from British literary dominion, influence and "diktats". Yours sincerely, Raven's Shade (Belgium).
