Who did Edgar Allen Poe marry?
Answer:
Edgar Allen Poe married his cousin Virginia Clemm Poe when he was 26 and she was 13 years of age. Some biographers defend the age of Virginia in the marriage in that they had more of a platonic than an amorous relationship, but this is difficult to prove. Virginia died of tuberculosis at the age of 24, which is seen as one of the main reasons behind Edgar’s turn to alcoholism and fall into deep depression.
