Context of Edgar Allan Poe The often tragic circumstances of Poe’s life haunt his writings. His father disappeared after he was born, and, at the age 3, Poe watched his mother die of tuberculosis. Poe then went to live with John and Frances Allan, wealthy theatergoers who knew his parents, both actors. Poe’s new mother, Frances Allan, was chronically ill, and Poe experienced her sickness much as he did his mother’s. Poe secretly married his cousin, Virginia, who also died of consumption. There are echoes of Poe’s upbringing in his works, as sick mothers and guilty fathers appear in many of his tales.
