Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, editor and literary critic, and is considered part of the American Romantic Movement. He was a great intellect and a sad heart. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective-fiction genre. He 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. Poe's publishing career began humbly, with an anonymous collection of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian". Poe switched his focus to prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals, becoming known for his own style of literary criticism. In January 1845, Poe published his poem "THE RAVEN" to instant success. Poe and his works influenced literature in the United States and around the world, as well as in specialized fields, such as cosmology and cryptography. Today, Poe and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films, and television. The works defined in these ten volumes embrace his poetic styles of Poetry, Tales of marvelous adventures including Murders and Mysteries, Tales of Occultism, Tales of Horror and Death, Tales of Fantasy and Extravaganza, Humorous Tales, Essays on Philosophy, and lastly, Essays of Criticism and Miscellany.
