Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston in 1809. His parents, both touring actors, died before he was three. He was raised by John Allan, a prosperous Virginian merchant. Poe published his first volume of poetry while still a teenager. He worked as an editor for magazines in Philadelphia, Richmond and New York, and achieved respect as a literary critic. In 1836, he married his thirteen year-old cousin. It was only with the publication of The Raven and other Poems in 1845 that he achieved national fame as a writer. Poe died in mysterious circumstances in 1849.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5As a fan of the author I wanted to hear this tale, for me though, the narrators desire for enuciation over understanding what he was reading, was terribly distracting. i thank him for his effort and hope his technique improves.
