GERALD KENNEDY  \nPENGUIN BOOKS  \npenguin  classics  \nTHE PORTABLE EDGAR ALLAN POE  \nedgar allan poe was born in Boston on January 19, 1809, the son of itinerant actors. Orphaned in 1811, he became the ward of John and Frances Allan of Richmond, accompanying them to England in 1815 and then returning in 1820 to Richmond, where he completed his early schooling. In 1826 he attended the University of Virginia, but gambling debts forced his withdrawal, and after a clash with his foster father, Poe left Richmond for Boston. There in 1827 he published his first book of poetry, Tamerlane and Other Poems, and enlisted in the U.S. Army as “Edgar A. Perry.” After tours of duty in South Carolina and Virginia, he resigned as sergeant-major, and between two later books of poetry—Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane, and Minor Poems (1829) and Poems (1831)—he briefly attended the U.S. Military Academy. Court-martialed and expelled, he took refuge in Baltimore with his aunt, Maria Clemm, and there began to compose fantastic tales for newspapers and magazines; in 1835 he obtained a position in Richmond at the Southern Literary Messenger. Perhaps already secretly wedded to his thirteen-year-old cousin, Virginia Clemm, he married her publicly in 1836. At the Messenger Poe gained notoriety by writing savage reviews, but he also raised the journal’s literary quality and enhanced both its circulation and reputation. In 1837, however, economic hard times and alcoholic lapses cost Poe his job; he moved to New York, where he completed a novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, published in 1838. By then, Poe had relocated to Philadelphia, where he wrote “Ligeia” as well as“The Fall of the House of Usher” and “William Wilson.” During successive editorial stints at Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine and Graham’s Magazine, Poe developed plans to establish a high-quality monthly periodical. He also published his first book, a volume titled Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque (1840), and later produced the first modern detective story,“The Murders in the Rue Morgue,”as well as the prize-winning cryptographic tale,“The Gold-Bug.” In 1842 his wife suffered a hemorrhage that marked the onset of tuberculosis. Poe returned to New York in 1844 and reached the peak of his productivity, publishing such tales as “The Premature Burial” and“The Purloined Letter.” He gained fame in 1845 with his poem “The Raven,” and that year also saw the publication of two books: Tales and The Raven and Other Poems. But the weekly literary newspaper  \nhe had managed to acquire, The Broadway Review, collapsed at the beginning of 1846. Moving to nearby Fordham, Poe continued to write and to care for Virginia until her untimely death in 1847. In his final years, he composed the sweeping, cosmological prose-poem, Eureka (1848), as well as some of his most renowned poetry, including “The Bells,” “Eldorado,” and “Annabel Lee.” After a ruinous bout of election-day drinking, Edgar Allan Poe died in Baltimore on October 7, 1849.  \nj. gerald kennedy is William A. Read Professor of English at Louisiana State University and a past president of the Poe Studies Association. He earned his doctoral degree at Duke University, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. His books on Poe include Poe, Death, and the Life of Writing (1987) and “The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym” and the Abyss of Interpretation (1995), as well as two edited collections of essays, A Historical Guide to Edgar Allan Poe (2001) and (with Liliane Weissberg) Romancing the Shadow: Poe and Race (2001) . In an early book titled The Astonished Traveler: William Darby, Frontier Traveler and Man of Letters (1981), he reconstructed the career of a prolific antebellum geographer and magazinist.
