Book excerpt: Intermediate Examination Paper from the year 2001 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2 (B), Martin Luther University (Institute for Anglistics/ American Studies), 9 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Edgar Allan Poe s The Raven "was the poem that finally made him popular as it popped up in a number of magazines and newspapers" (Shucard, 1990: 120). This may be so, among other things, because of the extraordinary usage of refrain, alliteration, assonance and the complex structure of this poem. In this term paper I am going to concentrate on the structure of the poem. First I will give a general overview of the structure and then will give a more detailed appreciation of the poem. I have chosen two contrasting aspects which I will analyze in more detail: the contrast in the course of the conversation between the raven and the speaker and the contrast between heaven and hell. Then I will make a short sidestep to discuss the credibility of the raven. This is necessary for the confirmation of some elements of the contrast between heaven and hell. Finally I will examine the elements of and the ideas presented by lost love. The individual elements of this poem can not be separated totally from each other, as these said elements often overlap. Sometimes, I feel that it is not possible to discuss something in full detail in one part of this work, as the same elements appear later again in another context, where the discussion can assume new and different aspects.

This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, grade: 2,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, course: Proseminar I – Introduction to Colonial Literature, language: English, abstract: “The Raven” is one of the most famous poems by Poe, published in January 1845, and will be the basis of this paper. The poet Richard Wilbur said that “of American writers, it is Poe who most challenges the reader not only to read him but to solve him”. Based on this quote it seems to be hard work to understand Poe’s poems. Nevertheless, this paper aims to ‘solve’ his poem “The Raven” by analyzing it and by pointing out the significance of the raven within the poem itself, and, on an abstract level, its impact on our everyday life. At first glance, the raven seems to be a symbol of death, which holds control over the narrator within the poem, and moreover becomes a constant reminder about the inability of man to escape his ultimate fate.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment."The Philosophy of Composition" is an 1846 essay written by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe that clarifies a theory about how good writers write when they write well. He concludes that length, "unit of effect" and a logical method are important considerations for good writing. He also states that "the death ... of a beautiful woman" is "without a doubt the most poetic subject in the world". Poe uses the composition of his own poem "The Raven" as an example. The essay first appeared in the April 1846 issue of Graham's Magazine. It is unclear if it is an authentic representation of Poe's own method.Overall, the essay presents three of Poe's theories regarding literature. The author recounts this idealized process by which he says he wrote his most famous poem, "The Raven," to illustrate the theory, which deliberately contrasts with the explanation of "spontaneous creation" presented

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An example of Poe’s melancholic and morbid poetic pieces, "A Dream Within a Dream" is a poem that pitifully mourns the passing of time. The poet’s own life, teeming with depression, alcoholism, and misery, cannot but exemplify the subject matter and tone of the poem. The constant dilution of reality and fantasy is detrimental to the poetic speaker’s ability to hold reality in his hands. The quiet contemplation of the speaker is contrasted with thunderous passing of time that waits for no man. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, author, and literary critic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2018 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: The paper deals with the topic of of spirituality in Edgar Allan Poe's poem “The Raven”. A poem such as “The Raven”, especially due to its great resonance, would be a shame to be limited and diminished to apply just to the life of the writer. A poem is a piece that once created is free to alternate through time and maintain its vitality. Unconsciously though everyone is affected by experience and it is inevitable not to be influenced by it. It is possible that death affected Poe in a higher degree than others but on the other hand death and life after it has always been an alluring subject since it is indeed the most mysterious event of life so far. The supernatural element implies an unknown world, one all people fear and also hope for and it is what makes the poem so enthralling to the audience and what made “The Raven” one of the most popular poems ever.

Book excerpt: How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe "The Raven" is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. First published in January 1845, the poem is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of a number of folk, mythological, religious, and classical references. Poe claimed to have written the poem very logically and methodically, intending to create a poem that would appeal to both critical and popular tastes, as he explained in his 1846 follow-up essay, "The Philosophy of Composition". The poem was inspired in part by a talking raven in the novel Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of 'Eighty by Charles Dickens. Poe borrows the complex rhythm and meter of Elizabeth Barrett's poem "Lady Geraldine's Courtship", and makes use of internal rhyme as well as alliteration throughout.

Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven is a popular first-person narrative poem that focuses on the themes of loss and self-analysis. The crow embodies the feeling of intense pain and loss, while other symbols throughout the poem reinforce a melodramatic mood that emphasizes the pain and loss of the main character. This poem explores the world of emotional wars that individuals face in all walks of life; specifically the fight that one can never ignore, the fight for control over the emotions of pain and loss. These battles are not physical, but they leave scars and bruises as if they were. Poe has produced a wonderful work that resonates with the feelings and experiences of every reader who comes across this poem. Once there was a sad midnight, as he reflected, weak and tired, on many curious and curious volumes of forgotten tradition. As I nodded, almost sleeping, suddenly there was a knocking, like someone knocking softly, knocking on my bedroom door. . "He's a visitor," I murmured, "knocking on my bedroom door just this and nothing else."
