Episode notes
“The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe was first published in 1843 (viriginia.edu) and depicts the ramblings of a person as they recount their murder of an elderly man with a vulture eye. In this inaugural episode, we will discuss our initial encounter with “The Tell-Tale Heart” and thoughts coming back to it now, as well as the strange narration style and theme of the story.

AnaLITical is created, hosted, and produced by Hannah and Jon Newland.
