Edgar+Allan+Poe

Apparently he is dead. His most important work of art was [|"The Raven"]which took me forever to read as my project. He married Virginia Clemm. Edgar like to write about Gothic like things and Romance. The link below gave me a lot of help with everything about Edgar. Edgar Allan Poe was born in January 19 1809 to Elizabeth Arnold Hopkins Poe and David Poe Jr, who were both actors. In 1810 his father left and a year later his mother died. Poe was then raised by the Allan family, who became his foster family. They never adopted him, but he took the family name. He served in the military under the name Edgar A. Perry and lied about his age. While he was placed at Boston Harbor, he wrote his first 40 page book Tamerlane and Other Poems. He is also the first writer to live off of his writings alone and often ask for money from family and friends. On October 3rd 1849, Poe was found in the streets of Baltimore and needed medical attention. He was taken to Washington College Hospital, where he died on October 7th. Poe was never coherent long enough to explain how he came into his condition. For some reason he was not wearing his own clothes. He kept saying the name "Reynolds", but no one knew who he was referring to. Some believe that his last words were "Lord help my poor soul", so in a very short simple way....... his death is unknown. He REALLY insane!
