Summary: A collection of twenty-six poems by nineteenth-century American poet Edgar Allen Poe. Poe was orphaned at a young age and grew up fostered by the wealthy Allan family in Virginia. After dropping out of university and the army, he became one of the first writers of the time to make a living from publishing his stories and criticism. Possibly his best-known work, “The Raven,” published in 1845, won him considerable fame and success. But he had much financial and mental difficulty throughout his life, particularly after the death of his wife Virginia. Poe’s death in 1849 was a much debated tragedy – alcohol, suicide, tuberculosis and many other things have been attributed as causes.
