Poe’s Early Years

Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19, 1809, in Boston, Massachusetts. He was an American writer, poet, critic, and editor best known for inspiring short stories and poems that captivated the imagination and interest of readers around the world. His imaginative storytelling and stories of mysteries and horrors are the beginning of a modern detective story. Many of Poe’s works, including “The Heart of Told Stories” and “The Fall of the House of Usher,” have become literary classics.

Some aspects of Poe’s life, such as his literature, are shrouded in mystery, and the boundaries between facts and fiction have been considerably blurred since his death. Po actually never knew his parents. Separated from his brother William and sister Rosalie, he went to live with John and Francis Alan, a successful tobacco merchant, and his wife in Richmond, Virginia.

Until the age of 13, Poe was a prolific poet, but his literary talent was discouraged by his director and John Alan, who wanted Poe to accompany him in the family business. Preferring poetry over profit, Poe reportedly wrote poems on the back of some of Alan’s business newspapers.

Money was also a problem between Poe and John Alan. In 1826, Poe went to the University of Virginia, where he distinguished himself in his lectures. However, he did not receive enough funds from Alan to cover all his expenses, so he turned to gambling to cover the difference, but he ended up in debt.

He returned home only to face another personal failure – his neighbor and fiancée Sarah Elmira Royster was engaged to someone else. Broken-hearted and frustrated, Poe moved to Boston.
