"Politian (1835) is the only play known to have been written by Edgar Allan Poe, composed in 1835 but never completed. The play is a fictionalized version of a true event in Kentucky: the murder of Solomon P. Sharp by Jereboam O. Beauchamp in 1825. Poe, however, chose to set his version in 16th century Rome.".
