In 1845 he published what would become his most celebrated poem, The Raven. Prior to his wife’s death, Poe had already been unable to maintain a steady job at the newspapers he worked with because of his alcoholism, which he tried to control. Her death in 1847, barely 24 years old, would mean Poe’s psychological collapse, which resulted in some of his best and darkest works while he abandoned himself to alcohol and drugs. He traveled around several cities in California along with his wife, Virginia Clemm, who was his young cousin. Poe began working for various newspapers and magazines, which he barely earned a living from. Orphaned of both parents, Poe went through an irregular education, from the United States to Scotland and England, until his brief stay at the University of Virginia, where he published his first book anonymously, and by the army, publishing his second book.
