OP Dear etaoin: Are you sure of Poe's dates? Site I found says he was only about three years younger than Dickens:
Best known for his poems and short fiction, Edgar Allan Poe, born in Boston, Jan. 19, 1809, died Oct. 7, 1849 .
Dickens was born in 1812.
The Raven and Other Poems (1845)
Edgar Allen Poe: The Bells
Date: c1845
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Poe lived in the Bronx for number of years, and his house can still be visited a few blacks from Fordham, on the Grand Concourse. You could not hear the bells of University Church there now - the din of the Bronx is too great, and since the Church was only built in 1845, its bells would have had to have had a dramatic effect on Poe. Still, stranger things have happened
Dombey and Son (1846-8)
Dear etaoin: Looks as though your comment is well founded.
But only by a rather small margin. I had a lot of trouble locating date for Dombey and Son. Can't be sure the date give is correct, but think it probably is. I had fun searching.
