Unprivating Poe refers to making the works of Edgar Allan Poe accessible to the public after they had been restricted or copyrighted.
Poe’s works entered the public domain in the United States in 1960, 75 years after his death, as per copyright law. Before that, his works were protected by copyright, meaning that only authorized individuals or entities could publish, distribute, or adapt them. Unprivating Poe’s works allowed for wider dissemination, analysis, and appreciation of his literary contributions.
