(Woman) Today, we move on in an overview of prominent figures in 19th-century American literature.
We will begin with Edgar Allan Рое who, after more than a century since his death, remains among the most
popular American authors of all time. He was born in Boston on January 19, 1809 to a family of traveling
actors. About a year and a half later, his father, David Рое, left his wife and son and disappeared without a
trace. Elizabeth Рое, who was an English-born actress, died in 1811 in Richmond, Virginia, during a tour,
and her son was taken care of by the family of John Allan, a relatively wealthy tobacco exporter. The Allans
had no children of their own, and Mrs. Allan became an affectionate mother for young Edgar. Because the
Allans were well off, Edgar received a thorough education appropriate for a gentleman. The Allans traveled
frequently on business, and young Рое lived with the family in England and Scotland between 1815 and
1820. There he attended a classical preparatory school at Stoke Newington for three years. When Рое turned
eleven, the family moved back to Virginia, and he continued his education at a local academy. Later when
Edgar entered the University of Virginia, he succeeded admirably in his academics. However, gambling led
to the demise of his academic pursuits, and Allan removed Edgar from the university within a year.
