Sarah Helen Whitman (1803–1878) was an American poet, essayist, and transcendentalist thinker, who remains best known for her romantic involvement with Edgar Allan Poe and her scholarly defense of his work. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Whitman became a prominent figure in the literary circles of New England. Her poetry often explored themes of spirituality, the supernatural, and woman's role in society, exhibiting a lyrical grace that aligned her with the transcendentalist movement of the time. Her literary style fused the intellectual with the mystical, reflecting a strong influence of the Romantic period. Whitman's most notable work, 'Edgar Poe and his Critics' (1860), stands as a poignant defense of Poe's character and writing against the harsh critiques of his contemporaries. In this critical biography, a genre rare for women writers of that era, she provided insightful and compassionate analysis of Poe's literary contributions, as well as rebuttals to his detractors' claims, thus seeking to preserve Poe's legacy. Whitman's engagement in literary criticism demonstrates her role as a mediator between the misunderstood genius of Poe and the American public. Her insightful commentaries contributed to the re-evaluation of Poe's work in the American canon and showcased her intellectual acumen and dedication to literary integrity.
