In this LitHub article https://lithub.com/americas-literary-giant-on-the-legacy-of-edgar-allan-poe-in-vietnam/ Nguyễn Bình writes about the influence of Edgar Allan Poe in Vietnam.

According to Nguyễn Bình, French writer Baudelaire had translated Poe’s work in 1917 and these translations became one of a number that young people would study and read while Vietnam was under French colonial rule.

Says Nguyễn Bình:

“For a time in history, Poe was the single most admired American author in Vietnam, and with that admiration, a whole generation of radical artists had crafted novel things, forever changing their country’s literary landscape.”

Writers such as Thế Lữ, Chế Lan Viên, and Nguyễn Tuân were all influenced by Edgar Allan Poe.
