The answer to that question is probably Edgar Allan Poe himself for a variety of reasons. An argument could be made that John Allan did much to ruin Poe's life, but, in Allan's defense, he also did more to help Poe succeed than any other. A third candidate would be Rufus Wilmot Griswold, but most of that happened after Poe died. Ironically, Griswold's malicious actions also probably contributed more to the posthumous popularity of Poe than any other factor.
