Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston on January on 19th of 1809 and he died in October on 7th of 1849.



He was an american poet, an a short-story writer, an editor, a literary critic and is considered part of the American Romantic Movement. He wrote terror tales and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective-fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

His parents died when he was very young. He lived with John and Frances Allan who hadn't adopted him. He went to the University of Virginia and briefly attempting a military career, Poe parted ways with the Allans. Poe's publishing career began humbly, with an anonymous collection of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian".

He examined human evolution and sexual selection in The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, followed by The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. His research on plants was published in a series of books, and in his final book, he examined earthworms and their effect on soil.

Tudor's London


Tudor London can be described as a prosperous, bustling city during the Tudor dynasty. In fact, the population increased from 75,000 inhabitants with Henry VII to 200,000 at the end of the 16th century.
The Tudor monarchs had a royal residence in London called Whitehall Palace and another in the countryside,called Hampton court , after Cardinal Wolsey gave it to Henry VIII. These Tudor kings and queens used what are now famous parks , such as Hyde Park or St. James's Park , as Royal Hunting forests.
Not many Tudor buildings survive today, mostly because of The Great Fire , which happened in 1666. Besides, the 13 religious houses in London were converted for private use or pulled down for building materials after the Dissolution of the monasteries, which was Henry VIII's most decisive step against the power of the church in 1538.

Apart from that, the theatres were banned from the city by the city authorities or guilds because plays wasted workmen's time . Then, they were built in the Southwark, where now a reconstruction of the Globe can be visited to learn about Tudor theatre.

At that time, London's financial rival was the city of Amsterdam, and to be able to compete with it , the international exchange was created in 1566.
