Edgar Allan Poe (1809 -1849) – the name alone conjures up mysteries, murder, madmen, and mayhem. He is considered the creator of the modern detective story, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle credits him with influencing his own Sherlock Holmes creation. His works, in print since 1827, include poetry, stories, a novel, essays, and book reviews. His idol was Lord Byron, and by age thirteen, Poe had written enough poetry to publish a book. His teacher and guardian prevented such a publication.
