John Allan, a Scottish merchant, takes Poe in after the death of his mother, although he never formally adopts him, although he gave Poe his middle name. John Allan was, by turn, affectionate and overly strict with Edgar. They would follow a pattern of alienation and reconciliation throughout their adult lives, culminating when Poe discovered Allan was remarrying a woman with children and he would have no inheritance when his foster father died.
Poe, in fact, was never legally 'adopted'. But, he was taken in by Frances Allan and her husband. Frances Allan loves and spoils him, but her husband strongly dislikes him.The Allans never formally adopted Edgar, but Fanny often thought of him as her own child. 10 years after that, Edgar moved because of the bad relationship with Jonh Allan.
Edgar Allan Poe is known for originating the gothic fiction genre in short stories. He was a pioneer of psychological thrillers, horror tales, and macabre mysteries, often featuring themes of madness, death, and the supernatural. Poe's works, such as "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Fall of the House of Usher," continue to influence the genre to this day.
