Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Author, poet, and literary critic, Edgar Allan Poe is credited with pioneering the short story genre, inventing detective fiction, and contributing to the development of science fiction. However, Poe is best known for his works of the macabre, including such infamous titles as The Raven, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, Lenore, and The Fall of the House of Usher. Part of the American Romantic Movement, Poe was one of the first writers to make his living exclusively through his writing, working for literary journals and becoming known as a literary critic. His works have been widely adapted in film. Edgar Allan Poe died of a mysterious illness in 1849 at the age of 40.

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2017

“The Raven and Other Poems” is a book of poems written by Edgar Allan Poe. “The Raven” was written four years before Poe’s death. To this day, it is one of Poe’s most famous pieces of poetry. Almost every individual uses Poe’s “The Raven” when speaking about literature and amazingly written pieces. This compilation of poems features an introduction written by Philip Pullman, an English author. Many of Pullman’s books have been best-selling, most notably his fantasy trilogy “His Dark Materials” and a fictionalized take on the life of Jesus. Pullman has a rather interesting way of introducing the book, it is written in the way of simply talking to the reader through text. Pullman’s introduction definitely sets the mood for what the rest of the book may be.

Not only did Poe write poetry, but also stories. Some well known stories Poe has written include “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Pit and the Pendulum.” These tales definitely reveal Poe’s talent at its greatest height. Many of the pieces of literature Poe wrote revolved around events which took place around him. An example of this would be his famous “Annabel Lee,” which was a eulogy written for a posthumous maiden “in a kingdom by the sea,” as said in the eulogy. The main theme of his poetry is surrounding the idea of losing a loved one or someone who was an acquaintance. However, his poetry is very open to interpretation and could be depicted in different ways according to the reader’s state of mind.

To me, “The Raven and Other Poems” is an extremely well written piece. One of my personal favorites from this collection is “To Helen.” “To Helen” is a three stanza poem. It is also another one of Poe’s works that are very well known. This particular poem has even been called one the most beautiful love poems in the English language. The subject of this poem is a woman who becomes, in the eyes of Poe, a personification of the classical beauty of Greece and Rome. If you are a fan of mystery or eerie poetry, I would 100% recommend this collection. All of the poems will leave a chilling, almost even haunting, feeling. Poe uses his words in such a mysterious and vague way. While this may be a problem in literature, Poe has somehow made it work. His poems will leave you feeling an enormous amount of emotions.

Romance Meets Grief

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2005

What can I say of "The Raven" that has not been said? Beauty and sadness, grief and romance. "Annabel Lee" is like it, and "Ulalume" will bend your heart to weeping. These aren't the only poems here, but they are among the reasons you will reread this small volume of poetry.

Lamenting the loss of a gentle but passionate woman, the narrator drinks, yet somberly dwells on her name. A local raven, with the capacity to utter like a parrot a syllable or two, repeats the speaker's chant "Lenore," as "Nevermore." The narrator, tired and broken, believes the raven might be sent by God or even by the Devil, and tries talking with it.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,--
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'T is some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door;
Only this and nothing more."

The poem, like a long tale, draws the listener or reader to be in that lonely room.

Anyone who has ever been in love and lost that lover will known Poe's pain and supplication of God.

Similar to the Raven in its message is "Annabel Lee," as the poet declares his grief over his lost lover. This love here is one he knew as a young teen, and whose love even the angels were jealous of.

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

Slightly lesser known is "Ulalume." It will remind readers of "The Raven," in its storytelling structure, though the poetry behind it is somewhat different. Like many of Poe's poetry, rhythm, alliteration and near internal rhymes lift the poem up high. It is somber, driven by gray images of sadness.

The Skies they were ashen and sober;
The leaves they were crispèd and sere,
The leaves they were withering and sere;
It was night in the lonesome October
Of my most immemorial year;
It was hard by the dim lake of Auber,
In the misty mid region of Weir:
It was down by the dank tarn of Auber,
In the ghoul-haunted woodland of Weir.

I fully recommend "The Raven And Other Poems," by Edgar Allan Poe, and look into a fuller collection including his stories, and more poetry.

Raven is on Its Way

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2005

This is one of the many poems by Edgar Allan Poe. It is a very good poem but at first I didn't really understand it. It took awhile before I fully understood it even after I had been told the main idea. In this poem raven represents death. What I believe that that the man in this poem is going to die and death is tapping at his door. This poem uses lots of figurative speech and it makes it sound very pretty. Such as "Prophet!,' said I, 'Thing of evil! Prophet still if bird or devil! Whether Tempter sent or tossed thee here ashore, Desolate ye tall undaunted, On this home by horror haunted-tell me truly, I implore- Is there balm in Gilead?- tell me- tell me I implore!' Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore." It would be a good idea to read The Raven.

Who can't pass up the mystique and somber terror of one Poe's poems? Don't deny yourself this chance at book full of great literature. Poe might have had a troubled life but his life's work was, and still is, incredible.
