Edgar Allan Poe

1809-01-19 — 1849-10-07 · Boston

Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic, best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and American literature as a whole. Poe is credited with inventing the detective fiction genre and was one of the earliest American writers of short stories, as well as the originator of the "cosmic horror" subgenre. His work is characterized by its exploration of dark themes, psychological depth, and often melancholic or terrifying atmosphere.
