Poe, Edgar Allan
Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49), poet, critic, and short-story writer, was a controversial figure in the literary world of antebellum America. He worked as an editor and contributor to magazines in several American cities, including Richmond, New York, and Philadelphia. His lifelong ambition was to found and edit his own magazine, an outlet that would have granted him financial security and artistic control in what he deemed an antagonistic literary marketplace. Poe's challenge to moralistic strictures against literature, his confrontations with the New England literary establishment, and his caustic critical style won him many enemies. Some readers too easily identified Poe with his deranged narrators, a tendency that made plausible the misrepresentations of the Reverend Rufus Griswold, his literary executor. Griswold's stinging memoir, published just after Poe's death, launched the "Poe legend." A combination of half-truths and outright fabrications about Poe's personal habits and conduct, Griswold's portrait almost irrevocably damaged his reputation. Rediscovery by French authors Charles Baudelaire partially rehabilitated his image, a process that preceded his acceptance in American literary circles.

Edgar Allan Poe
V. EDGAR ALLAN POE: 1809-1849
Four and a half years after the date of Hawthorne's birth, there was born in Boston another child of eccentric genius, like the lonely orphaned boy in Salem destined to literary fame as a dreamer of romance, and, alas, destined also to a career unique in the history of American letters for its brevity, its pathos, and its tragedy.
Parentage.
Edgar Allan Poe was born January 19, 1809. That his birth occurred in Boston was due to the fact that his parents, members of a theatrical company, were filling an engagement in that city when the event occurred. David Poe, the father of the child, was a Southerner, a native of Baltimore, where the Poes were people of character and standing. Connection with the parental home had ceased, however, when the young man had recklessly pushed his law-books aside for an uncertain career upon the stage. He was never a brilliant actor; the lady whom he married was by far his superior in their profession, and possessed the more vigorous personality of the two. It was from his mother that Edgar inherited his artistic temperament; while the prevailing weaknesses of the boy's later life, it is safe to assert, were a natural inheritance from his father. Within a year of Edgar's birth, his father died, and a year or two later Mrs. Poe also died, at Richmond, Virginia
