Rufus Wilmot Griswold. He tried to ruin Poe's reputation when Poe died. He had apparently borne a grudge against Poe since 1842. The biographical article of Poe Griswold wrote called "Memoir of the Author", which he included in an 1850 volume of the collected works. Griswold depicted Poe as a depraved, drunk, drug-addled madman and included Poe's letters as evidence. This "Memoir" was criticized by Poe's Friends and the "letters" were found to be forgeries.
