13. Edgar Allan Poe • Edgar Allan Poe was a famous writer. He was involved in the American Romantic Movement, which took place in the late 1800’s. Not only was he an American writer but also a poet, short story writer, editor, literacy critic and one of the leaders of the Romantic Movement. Edgar was classified as a Transcendentalists. Edgar was also a Romantics, he wrote of love and happiness in many of his stories.
