While lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore, a man receives a visit from a mysterious and unsettling raven who only utters one word: “Nevermore.” Despite the fact that his first published works were books of poetry, during his lifetime Edgar Allan Poe was recognized more for his literary criticism and prose than his poetry. However, Poe’s poetic works have since become as well-known as his famous stories, and reflect similar themes of mystery and the macabre. “The Raven” is one of the most well-known American poems and has influenced many modern writers, including Vladimir Nabokov and Ray Bradbury.

When a modern film script draws inspiration from a poem written more than a century ago, readers can judge its impact on our collective imagination. Such is the resonance of the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe. First published in 1845, "The Raven" is a masterpiece of atmosphere, rhythmic quality and use of language. Constructed in narrative form, it tells the story of a young man who is mourning the loss of his beloved. One December night as he wearily sits up browsing through a classical volume, a mysterious tapping against his window disturbs him. When he opens it to investigate, a strange and mournful raven enters his room and perches on the bust of a Greek goddess inside. The rest of the poem deals with the melancholy and mournful one-sided conversation between the two. The narrator desperately questions the Raven about Lenore, his lost love, but the Raven only gives a single dismal word "Nevermore" in reply. What happens to the narrator in the course of this conversation makes up the rest of the poem. The intensely dramatic and ominous quality of the poem makes it one of the most remarkable pieces both to read and study. The melodious rhyming structure is specially suited for recitation and reading aloud. The alliterative lines and words make it one of the easiest to recall and recite. Poe was a master craftsman in using language to evoke a dark and sinister mood in both prose and poetry. The poem received instant success for its creator and appeared in hundreds of journals across the United States. Later, it became a staple that was included in anthologies and won eternal fame for its creator. Poe himself wrote a seminal essay The Philosophy of Composition based on his creation of the poem. The haunting quality of the poem makes it one of the most enduring narrative poems. Full of symbols and omens, references to Greek mythology and steeped in the themes of love, despair, insanity and the supernatural, its timeless appeal cuts across generations of readers. It has been widely broadcast and recorded by famous theatrical personalities and inspired many writers and music composers across the globe, besides being referred to in many plays, films, novels, on television and in popular music. Whether you're reading "The Raven" for the first time, or rediscovering an old favorite, the poem retains its appeal for both youthful and older readers.

The poetry of Edgar Allan Poe has had a rough ride in America, as Emerson’s sneering quip about “The Jingle Man” testifies. That these poems have never lacked a popular audience has been a persistent annoyance in academic and literary circles; that they attracted the admiration of innovative poetic masters in Europe and especially France—notably Baudelaire, Mallarmé, and Valéry—has been further cause for embarrassment. Jerome McGann offers a bold reassessment of Poe’s achievement, arguing that he belongs with Whitman and Dickinson as a foundational American poet and cultural presence. Not all American commentators have agreed with Emerson’s dim view of Poe’s verse. For McGann, a notable exception is William Carlos Williams, who said that the American poetic imagination made its first appearance in Poe’s work. The Poet Edgar Allan Poe explains what Williams and European admirers saw in Poe, how they understood his poetics, and why his poetry had such a decisive influence on Modern and Post-Modern art and writing. McGann contends that Poe was the first poet to demonstrate how the creative imagination could escape its inheritance of Romantic attitudes and conventions, and why an escape was desirable. The ethical and political significance of Poe’s work follows from what the poet takes as his great subject: the reader. The Poet Edgar Allan Poe takes its own readers on a spirited tour through a wide range of Poe’s verse as well as the critical and theoretical writings in which he laid out his arresting ideas about poetry and poetics.

The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe Influenced by the English Romantic poets Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "Lord" George Gordon Byron, and Percy Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe represents one of the essential American Romantic poets of the 19th century. Romanticism here refers to a literary movement in the late 1700s and 1800s that focused on the emotional life of the individual and curiosity about oneself. This move complimented a broader geopolitical and ideological shift in the United States. Just as a young nation made its way to the West, its writers and philosophers explored the unknown territory of the human mind. Some romantic poets, such as the transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson, saw the potential for positive revelations within the self. Reflecting his belief in the inherent goodness of people, Emerson's poetry highlights enchanting elements such as natural features, water, and light. Poe, on the other hand, was interested in probing the darkest depths of the human psyche. It uses gloomy gothic scenes and nightmare sequences to suggest that self-reliance and turning inward does not result in enlightenment, but rather in terror and anxiety. The human mind, Poe argues, does not need help from lurid exteriors: it is fully capable of creating horror from within. This theme of self-generated inner torment plays a prominent role in "The Raven." Poe's works defy categorization. They contain elements of detective fiction, gothic thrillers, Victorian love poetry, and even comedy. He is sometimes credited with being the creator of the modern tale, and his stories, including "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "The Cask of Amontillado" are among the best known in the world. literary. His critical views were also influenced, especially the idea that poetry should be musical, that it should focus on beauty over truth, and that it should uplift the soul. Poe especially wished to be known as a poet, although he only wrote about fifty poems in all. His narrative poem "The Raven" is his most popular work, although others such as "Annabel Lee" and "Ulalume" are also widely read. Poe's poetry features rigid rhyming schemes and stanza patterns. Its speakers are always unnamed males; Although it is tempting to read his poems as autobiographical, they are more likely to represent an exercise in subjective exploration of emotion, as did the works of other Romantic poets of his time. Poe speakers often embark on a literal journey or a journey of the mind. Starting from a place of rational credibility, they are gradually superseded and their emotions make them unreliable. "The Raven" fits this mold. The poem became so powerfully associated with Poe that the author himself is sometimes referred to as "the raven."

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,2, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Anglistik/ Amerikanistik), course: Proseminar: American Poetry, language: English, abstract: The power of literature is a great one indeed. It absorbs us, transforms our environment, changes our way of thinking. For a moment we are able to live another life, try different opportunities and imagine fantastic worlds. Especially poems seem to touch us within our deepest soul. A poem can often say things that might never be said in any other way. It gives us goose bumps and butterflies in our stomach; it makes us cry, makes us laugh, makes us feel better- makes us think. Poetry expresses not only love, or disgust, but also giddy elation, mild bemusement, wild imagination and any other feelings we can or cannot imagine. Throughout the years many authors have expressed their opinions, hopes and critics in magazines, in books filled with pages and pages of poetry. Nevertheless some of them clearly stand out with their life and their work. Some of them are authors that made great contributions to the world of literature and that are still unforgotten. One of them is Edgar Allan Poe. Edgar Allan Poe did not only have a great influence on the development of horror and fantasy genres, he also stands (with Mary Shelley) for a new strain in literary Romanticism, later called Gothic. Poe is known as the father of the American short story and the detective story, but furthermore he wrote wonderful pieces of poetry. (Magistrale 2001: xiii) Tony Magistrale writes in his book “Student Companion to Edgar Allan Poe”: “Poe was one of those rare literary geniuses who not only labored successfully in multiple genres- poetry, fiction, the essay- but also went on to contribute significantly to defining and exploring the fullest range of possibilities inherent in these genres.“ (Magistrale 2001: xii) One of his most famous poems that spread out through the world and got translated into many languages is “The Raven”. This essay offers a summary and an interpretation of “The Raven” and tries to respect Poe’s own analysis in “The Philosophy of Composition”. Nevertheless, when reading or analyzing a poem it is always profitable to read about the life of the poet, too. Some of his biographical facts may be the link to understand his way of writing. That’s why this essay also deals with Edgar Allan Poe’s life and the time he grew up.
