Who he was

Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston in 1809 and orphaned before he was three; he was raised in Richmond, Virginia, by the merchant John Allan. He lived by his pen as an editor and critic, often in poverty.

His tales of terror, such as The Tell-Tale Heart and The Fall of the House of Usher, and his detective stories about C. Auguste Dupin shaped modern fiction; his poem The Raven made him famous in 1845. He died in Baltimore in 1849.
