Was collected by a wealthy couple from Richmond, Virginia, Frances and John Allan, though never officially adopted. He spent one academic year at the University of Virginia and subsequently enrolled, also briefly, in the military. Their relationships with Allan broke at that time, due to continuing disagreements with his stepfather, who often ignores his pleas for help and ended up destitute. His literary career began with a book of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827).
For economic reasons, their efforts soon turned to prose, writing short stories and literary criticism for some newspapers of the time, he acquired some notoriety for his caustic style and elegance. Because of his work, lived in several cities: Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. In Baltimore, in 1835, he married his cousin Virginia Clemm, who told the then 13 years old. In January 1845, published a poem that would make him famous: "The Raven." His wife died of tuberculosis two years later. The great dream of the writer, edit their own newspaper (which would renamed The Stylus), was never fulfilled.

The figure of the writer, as well as his work profoundly influenced the literature of his country and can say that the entire world. Great influence on French symbolist literature, and through it, in surrealism, but his imprint goes much further: they are all literature debtors own Victorian ghost greater or lesser extent, authors as diverse and important as Charles Baudelaire, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Franz Kafka, HP Lovecraft, Ambrose Bierce, Guy de Maupassant, Thomas Mann, Jorge Luis Borges, Clemente Palma, Julio Cortázar, etc. Nicaraguan poet Ruben Dario wrote an essay in his book rare.
Poe also made inroads in fields as diverse as cosmology, cryptography, and mesmerism.

(See Impact of Edgar Allan Poe.)
In one of his letters, wrote:
My life has been whim, impulse, passion, desire for solitude, a mockery of the things of this world, an honest desire for the future.
