    The Raven Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore. By Edgar Allen Poe Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door - Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door - Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, Perched, and sat, and nothing more. While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, `'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door - By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, Only this, and nothing more.' `Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, `art sure no craven. Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore - Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!' And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.' Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore - `Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore - By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore - Nameless here for evermore.

  • 17 CHAPTER IV DATA ANALYSIS and INTERPRETATION in This
    CHAPTER IV DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION In this chapter, I discuss the findings and interpretations. The findings and interpretations answer the research questions stated in chapter I, where the objective of this study is to find out the words and phrases that represent Romanticism Era in Edgar Allan Poe‘s poems, Lenore and The Raven. To reach the objective, the words and phrases that show the Romanticism Era‘s characteristics in the poems are gathered and analyzed based on the five characteristics of Romanticism Era which also contain dark romanticism characteristics. They are: 1) imagination, 2) nature, 3) symbolism and myth, 4) intuition and subjectivity, and 5) individualism. All of those characteristics can present the characteristics of dark romanticism: dark, creepy, gloomy, and dreary tones. After gathering the words and phrases containing the characteristics, I found seven words and four phrases in The Raven and four words and four phrases in Lenore to analyze. The words and phrases that I found are words and phrases that attract me to analyze. There are a lot more words and phrases in The Raven and Lenore that can also represent both of the characteristics. They are worthy of discussion as they represent the five characteristics of Romanticism Era, especially the dark romanticism‘s characteristics. 17 4.1. Words and Phrases that Represent Romanticism Era’s Characteristics in The Raven In this section, I discuss my finding of words and phrases in the poem The Raven written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1845 (Parker, 2005, The Raven, pp. 143- 147). The words and phrases which I analyse gives information about the characteristics of the dark Romanticsm Era.

  • Poe's Paradox of Unity
    Jordan Lewis Fall 2017 Poe’s Paradox of Unity A Critical Literary Analysis Written by Jordan Lewis Rice University, Class of 2018 English & Managerial Studies 1 Jordan Lewis Fall 2017 Abstract This essay is an analysis of some of Edgar Allan Poe’s artistic works through the lens of his empirical, but often very pedagogical works. In many ways, his later texts, namely “The Philosophy of Composition” and “Eureka” serve as a guideline upon which to evaluate Poe’s poems. This essay explores the degree to which the “rules” postulated in both Poe’s essay and prose-poem are followed in two of his poems, “The Raven” and “Ulalume.” Consequently, the meaning of “unity” in Poe’s writing is explored, and the degree to which adherence of his own prescribed rules has an effect on creating unity within the poem. I argue that there are two types of unity that embody these poems in different ways: ‘unity of impression’, which Poe defines and discusses in “The Philosophy of Composition,” and ‘perfect unity,’ a term derived from his contemplations in “Eureka.” Through this analysis, we can better understand the subliminal elements that may be at work in these pieces of literature, and the reason that Poe’s works are uniquely known to generate such effects on his readers. 2 Jordan Lewis Fall 2017 Poe’s Paradox of Unity In writing his 1846 work, “The Philosophy of Composition”, Edgar Allan Poe creates an essay that reinforces the readers’ impressions of his most successful poem to date, “The Raven,” as he imagines those impressions are invoked.

  • Emron Esplin. Borges's
    Emron Esplin. Borges’s Poe: The Influence and Reinvention of Edgar Allan Poe in Spanish America. The New Southern Studies, University of Georgia Press, 2016. Pp. xi, 239. $44.95. ISBN: 9780820349053. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24197/ersjes.39.2018.307-311 Jorge Luis Borges famously wrote, speaking of Franz Kafka, that writers are the creators of their precursors, and certainly it is all but impossible today for anyone who has read Borges to read Edgar Allan Poe without the looming shadow of the great Argentinian. Poe’s presence in Borges is at the same time but a part of a wider phenomenon of the US author’s influence in Spanish America, extending to other celebrated writers such as Rubén Darío, Julio Cortázar and Carlos Fuentes. Equally, the Borges-Poe link is of a strength and solidity sufficient to justify the appearance, in the shape of the volume under review, of a book-length study. The relationship between the two writers has been the subject of critical attention over time, the academic state of play as at the end of last century being summarised in a contribution by Graciela E. Tissera to the multi- author work Poe Abroad, edited by Lois Davis Vines and published in 1999. The extension and detail of Emron Esplin’s study reflect the multidirectionality of existing and potential Poe-Borges scholarship, in the light of the ceaseless revisits to Poe made by Borges across his writing career. The author is more than qualified for such a task, as coeditor of the collective volume of 2014, Translated Poe, which, as its title suggests, takes the internationalisation of Poe as its watchword.

    “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe 1 Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, 31 Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, 2 Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore — 32 Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before. 3 While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, 33 "Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice; 4 As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. 34 Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore — 5 "'Tis some visiter," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door — 34 Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;— 6 Only this and nothing more." 36 'Tis the wind and nothing more!" 7 Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December; 37 Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, 8 And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. 38 In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore; 9 Eagerly I wished the morrow; — vainly I had sought to borrow 39 Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; 10 From my books surcease of sorrow — sorrow for the lost Lenore — 40 But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door — 11 For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore — 41 Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door — 12 Nameless here for evermore.

He is best known for works which are a part of the dark romanticism genre. However, his genius did not stop there; Poe is also generally considered as the inventor of detective fiction. Poe’s influence on detective fiction writers is so large that his fictional detective became the prototype for many later ones; most notably Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie’s Hercules Poirot.

  • The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe 1 Once Upon a Midnight Dreary, While I Pondered, Weak and Weary, 2 Over Many a Quaint and Curi
    1 The Raven By Edgar Allan Poe 2 Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, 3 Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— 4 While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, 5 As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. 6 “’Tis some visiter,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door— 7 Only this and nothing more.” 8 9 Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December; 10 And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. 11 Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow 12 From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore— 13 For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore— 14 Nameless here for evermore. 15 16 And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain 17 Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; 18 So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating 19 “’Tis some visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door— 20 Some late visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door;— 21 This it is and nothing more.” 22 23 Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, 24 “Sir,” said I, “or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; 25 But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, 26 And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, 27 That I scarce was sure I heard you”—here I opened wide the door;— 28 Darkness there and nothing more.
