Was Edgar Allan Poe famous when he was alive?

Answer 1

For most of his life he got very little recognition (and payment!) for his work; then, in 1845 his poem, 'The Raven,' became an almost-overnight worldwide success. Even so, he did not enjoy near the fame he does today, and almost all of his writing was underappreciated during his lifetime.

He was the best short, Horror, and mystery stories writer. 'The Tell-Tale Heart,' The Raven,' and 'The Pit and the Pendulum' are now well known writings. He had a most refined word structuring combined with the horror he wrote to make his unique style.

Answer 2

Edgar Allan Poe was misunderstood while alive. After the publication of the poem 'The Raven' on January 29, 1845, he gained almost overnight worldwide fame, but it did not bring him much financial success. The fame during his lifetime does not compare to the attention he has received after he passed on October 7, 1849.

Answer 3

Edgar Allan Poe achieved some recognition during his lifetime for his poetry and short stories, but he did not achieve widespread fame until after his death. His work became more influential and acclaimed in the years following his passing.
