Who was Edgar Allan Poe?
Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) invented much of what we now call the detective story and refined the Gothic tale into psychological precision. Orphaned young, chronically poor, and dead at forty under circumstances still argued about, he wrote verse and prose whose formal control belies the disorder of the life behind it.
