Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), son of itinerant actors, holds a secure place in the firmament of history as America's first master of suspense. Displaying scant interest in native scenes or materials, Edgar Allan Poe seems the most un-American of American writers during the era of literarynationalism; yet he was at the same time a pragmatic magazinist, fully engaged in popular culture and intensely concerned with the ""republic of letters"" in the United States.
