How to write a Gothic short story, then called an article, for Blackwood’s Magazine, which was printed between 1817 and 1980.
Given my complete lack of experience with the contents of Blackwood’s Magazine at this time, this story seems like an even mix of misogyny and self-deprecation for all the superficial learned allusions Poe threw into his own work.
