EDGAR ALLAN POE

Who was Edgar Allan Poe? Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), the father of the modern mystery, was born in Boston on January 19, 1809. He was educated in Virginia and England as a child. It was during his later years at West Point that he showed a remarkable propensity for writing prose.

Edgar Allan Poe's first love was poetry, although he was unable to make a living at it early on. In 1835, Poe's literary talents started to blossom. It was at this time in his life that Poe fell in love and married his cousin, Virginia.

Poe worked for several publications as both editor and contributor In 1839, Poe's work flourished. At this time in his career he still was not secure financially, but his work was being recognized and praised, which helped greatly in furthering his reputation. During this time he wrote such macabre tales as "The Fall of the House of Usher.” Tales like these psychological thrillers were to become Poe's trademark.

In 1845 Poe published his famous work “The Murders in the Rue Morgue.” This story featured Auguste C. Dupin, the first-ever fictional detective. Poe's "tale of rationation," as he termed it, "inaugurated one of the most popular and entertaining forms of fiction ever conceived."

During the next few years Poe published such trademark horror tales as "The Tell-Tale Heart," and "The Pit and The Pendulum.” It wasn't until the 1845 publication of Poe's famous poem "The Raven" that he achieved the true rise to fame that had been denied him until then. The public's reaction to the poem brought Poe to a new level of recognition.

In 1847, Poe's wife died of consumption In 1847, Poe's wife died of consumption. Poe was devastated by her death. During the years following Virginia's death, Poe's life was taking a steady turn downward.

Poe suffered through a suicide attempt, several failed romances and engagements, and a largely unsuccessful attempt to resurrect his failing career after a long bout with alcoholism and depression. Poe died in 1849 in Baltimore at the age of 40. Although the exact circumstances of his death remain unknown, it seems clear that his death can be attributed to the effects of alcoholism.
