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.
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. ' "...Take thy beak from out my
heart, and take thy form from off my door!" Quoth the Raven,
"Nevermore." ' This selection of Edgar Allan Poe's poetical works
includes some of his best-known pieces, including the triumphant,
gleeful 'The Bells', the tragic ode 'Annabel Lee' and his famous
gothic tour de force, 'The Raven'. Some present powerful,
nightmarish images of the macabre and bizarre, while others have at
their heart a profound sense of love, beauty and loss. All are
linguistic masterpieces that demonstrate Poe's gift for marrying
rhythm, form and meaning. An American writer of primarily prose and
literary criticism, Edgar Allen Poe never ceased writing poetry
throughout his turbulent life, and is today regarded as a central
figure of American literary romanticism. He died in 1849.
