Edgar Allan Poe (1809- 1849) war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Er prägte entscheidend die Gattung der Kurzgeschichte sowie die Genres der Kriminal-, Horror- und Schauerliteratur. Einzelne Erzählungen haben spätere Autoren der Science-Fiction wie Jules Verne beeinflusst. Seine Lyrik, in Europa u. a. von Charles Baudelaire rezipiert, wurde zum Fundament des Symbolismus und damit der modernen Dichtung.
