Edgar Allan Poe
A cultural movement known as romanticism emphasized passion, individualism, as well as the veneration of the past and of nature. Poe is often recognized as a key representative of American Romanticism. He is hailed as the greatest representative of Dark Romanticism, an aesthetic movement that emphasizes the demonic, self-destruction, fallibility of humans, and the psychological ramifications of sin and remorse.
The loss of a young, attractive, and greatly loved woman is one of his poems' primary themes; he referred to it as "the most poetical issue in the universe." The Raven is Poe's most well-known poem. Numerous later pieces were influenced by it, notably Paul Gauguin's well-known picture Nevermore.
Aside from poetry, Poe is credited with creating the detective fiction subgenre and making significant contributions to the burgeoning science fiction subgenre.
