Explanation:

Edgar Allan Poe is widely acknowledged for his narratives filled with macabre and thrill. His poetry and tales occupied with mystery and enigma that fascinated the audience to read. He, however, suffered a struggling life due to financial instability, but he paved the way for his descendants by introducing the 'detective fiction' genre and also laid the foundation for 'science fiction'. He further established his own distinct style of literary criticism despite having such an arduous life.
