Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, short story writer, editor, and literary critic who is credited with inventing the detective fiction genre and with contributing to the emerging science fiction genre.

He then turned to writing prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals, becoming well known for his particular style of literary criticism.
