From the Paper:

""Edgar Allan Poe never produced any biological offspring during his lifetime, but clearly his literary children are everywhere" (Magistrale 9). Poe's impressive avant-garde style provides inspiration for many people to fabricate captivating pieces. Because he writes an excess of 120 poems, sonnets, and stories in his lifetime, Poe remains a prominent figure in society. A tremendous appreciation for Poe's work motivates his so-called "children" to sample his style in a vast number of their own ways. Therefore, the great influence Edgar Allan Poe's writings have on modern culture is evident in many areas including art, music, and literature."
