The Raven
by Edgar Allan Poe
Raven is known for her musicality, stylized language and supernatural atmosphere, recounting a mysterious visit of a talking crow to a distraught lover and watching her slowly descend into madness. This illustrated version includes detailed, virtuoso engravings by Gustave Dores from the 19th-century edition of The Crow, one of the most popular American poems ever written. The dreamlike, extraterrestrial illustrations perfectly capture the gloomy hopelessness and sad reflections of Poe's poetry. Includes Edmund introduction/analysis. K. Steadman.
