Neris,

You might try the Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore website at:

http://www.eapoe.org There is excellent material on his life, his family, his friends and enemies and his mysterious death.

For summaries of his more popular works, you can try the Poe Decoder website at http://www.poedecoder.com

Also, you can try your local school library. Arthur Hobson Quinn's "Edgar Allan Poe: A Critical Biography" and Marie Bonaparte's "The Life and Works of Edgar Allan Poe" are both good biographies--though somewhat dated. (The quotation marks should actually be underlines, but I don't know how to do it, so the quotes will have to suffice.)

Good luck,
