Edgar Allan Poe
An unnamed narrator performs a remarkable experiment when he hypnotizes a man who is In Articulo Mortisâ€”at the point of death. Because the story wasnâ€™t identified as fiction when it was first published in 1845, many readers believed Edgar Allan Poeâ€™s sensational work to be a true account. The writing style Poe adopts for this story, as well as its many references to medically-trained people, lends authenticity to it. He is writing about mesmerism, an early form of hypnotism.,Librarian's note: this entry is for "The Facts of the Case of M. Valdemar."
