Edgar Allan Poe (1809–49) reigned unrivaled in his mastery of mystery during his lifetime and is now widely held to be a central figure of Romanticism and gothic horror in American literature. Born in Boston, he was orphaned at age three, was expelled from West Point for gambling, and later became a well-regarded literary critic and editor. The Raven, published in 1845, made Poe famous. He died in 1849 under what remain mysterious circumstances and is buried in Baltimore, Maryland.
Yearning for adventure, young Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket stows away on the whaler Grampus. Beset by troubles including mutiny, shipwreck, and cannibals, Pym is rescued by the crew of the Jane Guy and continues his adventures as the ship heads further south.
The only complete novel written by Edgar Allan Poe, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym drew heavily on several real-life accounts of sea voyages, and consequently influenced some of the greatest maritime writers, including Herman Melville and Jules Verne, who continued Pym’s story in The Antarctic Mystery.
