Edgar Allan Poe (nascido Edgar Poe; Boston, em Massachusetts, nos Estados Unidos, 19 de janeiro de 1809 – Baltimore, em Maryland, nos Estados Unidos, 7 de outubro de 1849) foi um autor, poeta, editor e crítico literário estadunidense, integrante do movimento romântico em seu país. Conhecido por suas histórias que envolvem o mistério e o macabro, Poe foi um dos primeiros escritores norte-americanos de contos e é, geralmente, considerado o inventor do gênero ficção policial, também recebendo crédito por sua contribuição ao emergente gênero de ficção científica. Ele foi o primeiro escritor americano conhecido por tentar ganhar a vida através da escrita por si só, resultando em uma vida e carreira financeiramente difíceis. Ele nasceu como Edgar Poe, em Boston, em Massachusetts. Quando jovem, ficou órfão de mãe, a qual morreu pouco depois de seu pai abandonar a família. Poe foi acolhido por Francis Allan e o seu marido John Allan, de Richmond, na Virgínia, mas nunca foi formalmente adotado. Ele frequentou a Universidade da Virgínia por um semestre, passando a maior parte do tempo entre bebidas e mulheres. Nesse período, teve uma séria discussão com seu pai adotivo e fugiu de casa para se alistar nas forças armadas, onde serviu durante dois anos antes de ser dispensado. Depois de falhar como cadete em West Point, deixou a sua família adotiva. Sua carreira começou humildemente com a publicação de uma coleção anônima de poemas, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827).

The Edgar Allan Poe Museum, 1914 E. Main Street in Richmond, Virginia. In 1906, Edgar Allan Poe fans formed the Poe Memorial Association. They salvaged bricks from the demolished Southern Literary Messenger building to erect a shrine to Poe behind Richmond’s oldest house, which was then a museum dedicated to colonial history. The shrine opened in 1922.

The Edgar Allan Poe Museum, 1914 E. Main Street in Richmond, Virginia. Today, the oldest house in Richmond, as well as several adjacent buildings, house a collection of artifacts from Edgar Allan Poe’s life, including his worldly possessions at death, his cane, vest, and even a lock of his hair. One building devoted to his childhood even contains his childhood bed. It’s an impressive assortment!

The Edgar Allan Poe Museum, 1914 E. Main Street in Richmond, Virginia. Two black cats wander the grounds of the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond and sun themselves on the pavement in the garden. They are friendly, accustomed to attention from visitors. Thankfully they’ll escape the same fate as poor Pluto from Poe’s story “The Black Cat” (1843). The roaming cats are part of the museum’s charm.

The Edgar Allan Poe Museum, 1914 E. Main Street in Richmond, Virginia. The oldest remaining house in Richmond was likely built in 1737 by a man named Jacob Edge. It was preserved and restored by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities in 1912. This humble brick house has been home to the Edgar Allan Poe shrine, now known as the Edgar Allan Poe Museum, since 1924.
