"The Enigmatic Edgar A. Poe in Baltimore & Beyond: Selections from the Susan Jaffe Tane Collection" exhibit is free to visitors and will be open six days a week, including Tuesdays from Oct. 4 through February 5, 2017.

"This exhibition of rare materials gives viewers the chance to see Poe at work, up close: 'The Raven' in Poe's own handwriting...first editions of Poe's writings in books, newspapers, and magazines from the 1800s...and examples of the translations, illustrations, comic books, and portraits that have helped extend Poe's global popularity," the library's website states.

Beginning next month on the anniversary of Poe's death, the library will also host a film series to celebrate his life and work.
