By focusing on the two decades around Poe's most prolific years, readers of The Reason for the Darkness of the Night can really get a sense of the disparate ideas and turbulent scene among scientific thinkers. When the world was enraptured by Arctic exploration, Poe was inspired to write The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym. As scientists worked to collect, categorize, and classify the natural world, Poe was hired to write The Conchologist's First Book, an illustrated guidebook to oceanic shells. When the theory of phrenology claimed to predict criminal behavior, Poe penned his tales of ratiocination.
