In "The Raven"by Edgar Allan Poe, Lenore may be the author's beloved wife, Virginia, who was two years away from dying of the incurable consumption (tuberculosis) when 'The Raven' was published though Poe never confirmed nor denied this common assumption.
Edgar Allan Poe influenced himself with the things around him and his wife.
Lenore is one of the symbols Poe used throughout his writing to refer to his older brother, William Henry Leonard Poe, who Edgar was always looking up to. He based many of his writings off of his older brother's works. By rearanging some of the letters in Henry's name "Leonard", one can conclude the name "Lenore". Also to support this, although Lenore was written as a woman in Poe's literature which suggests Virginia (his first wife), Lenore was "lost" and many of Edgar's poems and short stories depict a seafaring life by the sea where his "lost Lenore" was laid to rest. Henry was a sailor for most of his life and was buried by the sea (much like Anabel Lee), obviously circling the idea that Lenore is a direct reference to his meritime brother.
Poe's inspiration was his wife
The exposition of 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe sets the scene by describing a man reading books to ease his sorrow over the loss of his lover, Lenore. The man is seeking peace and distraction from his grief when he hears a tapping at his chamber door, leading to the appearance of the mysterious raven.
Annabel Lee refers to Virginia, Edgar Allan Poe's wife. When she died, he became really depressed and wrote a bunch of poems about her using different names such as his love, Annabel Lee, Lenore, the angel and such. So Annabel Lee's husband is Edgar Allan Poe, basically.
