He married Virginia when she was 13. And they were married 11 years. By today's standard (that being that 17-18 is legal age of consent) in order to believe that he was not a pedophile, you'd have to believe that he was married to her for 4-5 years without having sex with her.

There is no strong evidence to suggest that Edgar Allan Poe was a pedophile. While some of his personal relationships were controversial, there is no concrete evidence to support this claim. It is important to base conclusions on verified historical information.

∙ 8y agoLegend has it that Edgar Allan Poe's cousin/wife, Virginia Clemm, had never conceived children; but there is no way to know for certain. Many biographers believe that Poe and his wife were more like brother and sister than husband and wife and never consummated the marriage.

∙ 10y agoNo, he was an author (1809-1849) and many of his stories and poems dealt with dark subjects, including murders.
Two of his short stories that deal directly with murder are The Telltale Heart (1843) and The Cask of Amontillado(1846).
No, he just wrote stories about murders.

∙ 12y agoNo, he was not. There is not a single mention of bisexuality in any of the biogrophies or articles about Poe. Since Poe made many enemies and since bisexuality was at that time entirely unacceptable publicly, it is a certainty that one or more of his enemies would have mentioned something about it.

∙ 10y agoNo, he died of what some say was a broken heart and others attribute to Alcoholism.
It is possible since no one really knows how he died. One of the theories is poisoning, after all.
