Edgar Allan Poe is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and American literature, and he was one of the countrys earliest practitioners of the short story. Poe is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction.



One of Poes lesser-known works was The Murders in the Rue Morgue but has since been considered the first modern detective story. This 1895 edition was published by George Barrie as a facsimile of the original manuscript in the Drexel Institute.
