this is by far my favorite story by Edgar Alllan Poe and it has always been very interesting to me. You did a stunning job reading it!! ( even if my comment is three years late )
The English displayed in this comment section from those whom would be in study of said language is in fact quite a somber lot. Enough so to encourage one into a morose mood in consideration for future students. Clueless even, they waddle and wade their way toward mediocrity or much less.
I must say, I was quite surprised to hear that you do not appreciate the works of Edgar Allan Poe. While it is certainly acceptable to have differing opinions on matters of taste, I cannot help but wonder if your lack of appreciation stems from a lack of maturity and understanding. It is well known that Poe's works are not for the faint of heart, as they often deal with dark and unsettling themes. However, it is precisely this depth and complexity that makes them so compelling to those who are able to appreciate them. Poe's stories are not simply tales of horror and the macabre; they are also deeply psychological explorations of the human psyche, and are often laden with symbolism and allegory. It is possible that you have not yet reached a level of maturity and understanding that allows you to fully appreciate the nuances and complexities of Poe's works. This is not meant as an insult, but rather as a suggestion that perhaps you should revisit his stories at a later time, when you have gained more life experience and a deeper understanding of the human condition. In conclusion, I would encourage you to approach Poe's works with an open mind and a willingness to explore the darker corners of the human psyche. With time and reflection, I am confident that you will come to appreciate his unique contributions to the literary canon. Conformist
Edgar Allan Poe was not the author of "The Raven," he merely claimed it in a kind of 19th-century "identity theft." The poem's premiere was submitted anonymously to "American Review" under the pseudonym "---- Quarles" by the true author, Mathew Franklin Whittier, younger brother of poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Poe, a critic for the New York "Evening Mirror," finding the poem in an advance copy of "American Review," scooped Mathew in his own paper by two days. Mathew had shared a copy of "The Raven" with Poe in early 1842, so Poe had a handwritten copy in his possession. This enabled him to convince his editor that he had permission to scoop "American Review"--but he mysteriously left the "Mirror" shortly afterwards (suggesting that he may have been fired for lying about it). It is the height of absurdity that the editor of a newly-launched monthly literary magazine like the "Review," would have given a daily newspaper this permission. The real author was not in a position to reveal his identity because of his anti-slavery work and connection with the Underground Railroad, and hence could not publicly defend himself. My paper, "Evidence that Edgar Allan Poe Stole 'The Raven' from Mathew Franklin Whittier," can be downloaded from the following link, or it can be read by searching for the paper's title in Academia.edu.
