Edgar Allan Poe was born Edgar Poe, although his new family never adopted him formally, he went with the name Edgar Allan Poe and stayed with the couple until adulthood.

He attended the University of Virginia but was not able to finish due to financial problems. In 1827, he was enlisted in the US Army, and in the same year, he published his first collection of short stories called “Tamerlane and Other Poems. He failed as a cadet officer and parted ways with the agency to become a poet and a writer.

During this time, he worked for different writing and publishing companies which forced him to move to different states, mainly Eastern states. In 1836, he married his 13-year old cousin Virginia Clemm who died just 10 years later from tuberculosis.

Poe’s most popular books and poems are “The Raven”, “Annable Lee”, “A Dream Within a Dream”, “To Helen”, “Lenore”, “The Haunted Palace”, and “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”.
