The Cask of Amontillado

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe

  • Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston, Massachusetts on January 19th, 1809. Poe’s father and mother, died before the poet was three years old and John and Frances Allan raised him as a foster child in Richmond, Virginia.
  • His uncles, sent him to the best boarding schools and later to the University of Virginia, where Poe excelled academically and after a year, he was forced to leave the university when Allan refused to pay Poe’s gambling debts.
  • In Baltimore, Maryland, Poe began to sell short stories to magazines and, in 1835, he became the editor of the Southern Literary Messenger in Richmond.
  • In 1836, he married his cousin, Virginia, who was fourteen years old at the time.
  • He established himself as a poet, a short story writer, and an editor. He published some of his best-known stories and poems, including “The Fall of the House of Usher," “The Tell-Tale Heart," “The Murders in the Rue Morgue," and “The Raven.”
  • After Virginia’s death from tuberculosis in 1847, Poe’s lifelong struggle with depression and alcoholism worsened.
  • On October 3, 1849, he was found in a state of semi-consciousness. Poe died four days later of “acute congestion of the brain.” Evidence by medical practitioners who reopened the case has shown that Poe may have been suffering from rabies.
