Edgar Allen Poe was born on January 19, 1809, and died on October 7, 1849. Poe never really knew his parents because his father left when he was young and his mother died when he was 3 from tuberculosis. Poe went to Virginia to live with two successful tobacco merchants, John and Frances Valentine Allan. He was a brilliant poet by age 13, but John discouraged him from poetry and wanted him to work in the family merchant business. When Poe went to the University of Virginia, he excelled in all of his classes, but had to leave because he was in debt. When he returned, his fiance had become engaged to someone else. Heartbroken, he moved to Boston to start his writing career.

Edgar Allen Poe was a masterful artist of various types of writing like romanticism, mystery and macabre, and even was considered the father of the detective fiction genre and science fiction which are now desired immensely among our generation.  He was the first American to be known for living off of writing alone, and was constantly barraged with copyright infringement strikes making his writing career an even harder goal to achieve. During the summer of 1893, he took a major step forward and became the assistant editor of an influential magazine at the time called Burton’s Gentleman's Magazine writing and publishing numerous interesting articles, stories, and reviews initially raising the ratings of the magazine. In June 1840, he started his own magazine called the The Stylus and it blossomed into a successful magazine with its amazing articles.
