EDGAR ALLAN POE né Edgar Poe; January 19 1809 - October 7 1849 was an American writer poet author editor and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism and Gothic fiction in the United States and of American literature. Poe was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre as well as a significant contributor to the emerging genre of science fiction. He is the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone resulting in a financially difficult life and career. Edgar Poe was born in Boston Massachusetts on January 19 1809 the second child of American actor David Poe Jr. and English-born actress Elizabeth Arnold Hopkins Poe. He had an elder brother Henry and a younger sister Rosalie. Their grandfather David Poe had emigrated from County Cavan Ireland around 1750. His father abandoned the family in 1810 and his mother died a year later from pulmonary tuberculosis. Poe was then taken into the home of John Allan a successful merchant in Richmond Virginia who dealt in a variety of goods including cloth wheat tombstones tobacco and slaves. The Allans served as a foster family and gave him the name "Edgar Allan Poe" although they never formally adopted him. The Allan family had Poe baptized into the Episcopal Church in 1812. John Allan alternately spoiled and aggressively disciplined his foster son. The family sailed to the United Kingdom in 1815 and Poe attended the grammar school for a short period in Irvine Ayrshire Scotland where Allan was born before rejoining the family in London in 1816. There he studied at a boarding school in Chelsea until summer 1817. He was subsequently entered at the Reverend John Bransby's Manor House School at Stoke Newington then a suburb 4 miles 6 km north of London. Poe moved with the Allans back to Richmond in 1820.
