| Edgar Allan Poe |
| |
| 1809–49, American poet, short-story writer, and critic, b. Boston. He is acknowledged today as one of the most brilliant and original writers in American literature. His skillfully wrought tales and poems convey with passionate intensity the mysterious, dreamlike, and often macabre forces that pervaded his sensibility. He is also considered the father of the modern detective story.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. Copyright © 2002 Columbia University Press.
