First published in January 1845, The Raven is a narrative poem by
American writer Edgar Allan Poe. The poem is often noted for its
musicality, stylised language, and supernatural atmosphere. It
tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover,
tracing the man's slow descent into madness.
Edgar Allan Poe is credited with having pioneered the short story,
having perfected the tale of psychological horror, and having
revolutionised modern poetics. The entirety of Poe's body of
imaginative work encompasses detective tales, satires, fables,
fantasies, science fiction, verse dramas, and some of the most
evocative poetry in the English language. This omnibus edition
collects all of Poe's fiction and poetry in a single volume,
including The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Tell-Tale Heart,"
"The Pit and the Pendulum,." "The Raven," "Annabel Lee," the
full-length novel "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of
Nantucket", and much more. The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar
Allan Poe is part of Barnes & Noble's Leatherbound Classics.
Each title in the series presents a classic work in an attractively
designed edition bound in genuine bonded leather. These books make
elegant additions to any home library.
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics. ‘True! Nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous
I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease
had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them.’ This
ultimate collection of the infamous author’s works includes
‘The Raven’, ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ and ‘The
Tell-Tale Heart’. They focus on the internal conflict of
individuals, the power of the dead over the living, and
psychological explorations of darker human emotion. An American
writer of fantastical, bizarre and sometimes disturbing short
stories, Poe wrote in the first half of the nineteenth century.
Preoccupied with delving into the darker reaches of the human
psyche, Poe is inventor of the detective story and master of the
macabre.
