Synopsis

Edgar Allan Poe (18 January 1809 – 7 October 1849) was an American writer, editor, and literary critic. Poe is 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, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. Poe is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.Edgar Allan Poe, Selected Works contains several of the short stories that Poe is most known for including The Raven and The Cask of Amontillado.Well-Read Life SeriesThroughout time literature has entertained, taught and provoked thought.
