Marks' heartfelt printed dedication is "To the memory of Maria Clemm, whose love for her children Virginia Clemm Poe and Edgar Allen Poe has turned poverty, tragic suffering, early death into an inheritance of beauty for all the world". In Genius and Disaster, Marks discusses Coleridge, Rossetti, Poe, Francis Thompson and Elisabeth Barrett Browning, amongst others, "in the light of their addiction to drugs and drink". Jeannette Marks (1875�1964), writer, lecturer and educator, was Professor of English Literature at Mount Holyoke College (1901-1939) and founder and director (1928-1941) of its Laboratory Theatre. She was a member of the National Woman's Party and chair of its New York State branch (1942-1947). Her partner was Mary Emma Woolley, a fellow educator and peace activist, and a Professor at Wellesley College. Woolley became the 10th President of Mount Holyoke College (1900-1937). Marks is remembered at the College through its Jeannette Marks Cultural Center, a community centre for LGBTQIA+ students, staff, and faculty.
