John Henry Ingram
(1842–1916), an English editor, collector, and biographer, wrote several
memoirs about Edgar Allan Poe, largely in opposition to a Poe memoir written in
1850 by Rufus W. Griswold, which Ingram deemed inaccurate and filled with lies.
Ingram also wrote critical studies of Thomas Chatterton and Christopher Marlowe.

Biographer, and Collector of Poe Materials," in A Guide to
