Edgar Allan Poe

1809–1849

Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was an American writer, editor, and literary critic best known for tales of mystery and the macabre, but he considered himself first a poet and a founder of the detective and horror genres.

His musical, tightly-wrought verse — including ‘The Raven’, ‘Annabel Lee’, and ‘The Bells’ — explores loss, beauty, and death, and made him one of the most widely imitated poets in the English language.
