There are several misconceptions about Poe due to exaggerated or biased accounts from people who knew him. In addition, early literary critics often focused on sensationalizing aspects of his personal life rather than on his writing. Many of these myths and misconceptions have persisted over time and become ingrained in popular culture, leading to a distorted image of Poe.

Ever since 1949 what is left on Poe's grave?

In the early morning of January 19, Poe's birthdate, a bottle of cognac and 3 roses are left on Poe's grave by the mysterious "Poe Toaster." There is some doubt that the tradition began in 1949.The misconception seems to be that the Poe Toaster visited Poe's grave, but 'Toast' actually visited Poe's original gravesite (the one on the Poe plot with the raven) where Poe's remains were from 1849 until 1875. Poe's current gravesite is much too public for the Toaster.

Why did Edgar Allan Poe have a bad temper and did not think much of himself as a young boy?

He did not have a bad temper. This is just a lie that came from an enemy of Poe's, Rufus Griswold. Poe was actually a nice man that just had many problems in his life. As for him never thinking much of himself when he was young, I do not know. I think it was just because he was depressed from his lack of a real family seeing as his mother died, his dad left, and he was never formally adopted. I actually never heard anyone say he did not think much of himself before.
