Edgar Allan Poe’s
Daguerreotype
The Cult News| October 2014
℘ Edgar Poe adopted the last name “Allan” from
his foster parents, John and Frances Allan. The
father-son bond was not close, especially for his
involvement in gambling. John Allan decided to
stop sponsoring his bad habits.
℘ Allan Poe, the major exponent of Dark Romanti- cism, unlike his extraordinary work in literature, his life compares to the life of ordinary men, drowning and clashing over debts. He gets involved into corruptive activity since college, where he saves money to pay college tuition.
℘ Poe was not the most hard-working person. In fact, in 1827 he aimed to attend West Point Military Academy, but failed. After 4 years of camp-training, he was dismissed as “Gross ne- glect of duty.”
℘ Edgar Allan Poe did not believe in job security. In 1835, he worked for 2 years as an editor for the Southern Literary Messenger magazine, in Baltimore. In 1839, Poe works for the Burton’s Gentleman’s magazine and keeps this job until 1840. Later, for another year, he works at Gra- ham’s magazine.
℘ Poe’s brightness is often associated with mild autistic tendencies. He was responsible for many of his dismissals that were related to his quick temper and emotional attacks.
℘ As many famous public figures whose works are more worth dead than alive, Edgar Allan Poe was not the exception. The Raven cost $4 to $10. However, in 1929, 100 years later, the man- uscript was worth $100,000.
