Edgar Allan Poe was not married to Annabel Lee! His wife was Virgina Clemm!
Annabel Lee was not Poe's wife. She was just a woman depicted in his poem, Annabel Lee.
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.
Edgar Allan Poe wrote two poems about his wife Virginia. There was "The Raven" for when she was ill for five years and dying of Tuberculosis; and "Annabel Lee" which was after she died.
Poe's poem "Annabel Lee" begins with the line "It was many and many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea."
Poe's life intersected with a number of women who died at an early age and several have been suggested as the possible models for "Annabel Lee". However, the consensus is that his wife, Virginia Eliza Clemm Poe, whom he married in 1835 when she was just thirteen and lost at the age of 24, was the true source of his inspiration.
Edgar Allan Poe influenced himself with the things around him and his wife.
'Annabel Lee' was the name of a fictional poem that Edgar Allan Poe wrote very late in his life. In fact, it was not published until the day of his funeral (or the day after). Poe's wife was named Virginia Eliza Clemm who died almost three years before Poe, and some people believe that Annabel Lee was modeled after her.
According to a family member, Edgar Allan Poe's natural mother, Elizabeth Arnold Hopkins Poe died of pneumonia. There is no history that Poe's natural mother died of tuberculosis as his wife later did.
Poe's inspiration was his wife
Important women in Edgar Allan Poe's life included his mother (died 1811), his foster mother Frances Allan (died 1829), and his wife Virginia Clemm Poe (died 1847). These women had significant impacts on Poe's life and work, influencing his writing and emotional development.
Edgar Allan Poe Lived with their family
it got broken by his wife
His mother died and his father left him... there were two women who knew his mother, and one adopted his sister. The other adopted him. Their last name was Allan, so they made that Edgar's middle name. John Allan didn't like Edgar, and disowned him when his wife died. Eventually, Edgar did find love-- a girl named Virginia. But she died of "consumption" at an early age, inspiring a lot of Poe's works, such as the Raven, and Annabel Lee.
