 | | On this segment of HarperAudio!, British actor Basil Rathbone offers an intense reading of American writer Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven." In this recording, Rathbone renders Poe's anguished, darkly romantic classic using the full range of his dramatic talent. |
 | | In 1836 he married his 13- year-old cousin, Virginia Clemm, whose death 11 years later inspired the poem Annabel Lee. |
 | | Poe's career ranged from Richmond, Virginia, where he edited the Southern Literary Messenger, to New York, where he ran The Broadway Journal. |
