  The Raven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Raven" is a narrative poem by Edgar Allan Poe.
Poe's characters usually do not feel "guilt" because they did a "bad" thing--that is, the story is not didactic (in his essay "The Poetic Principle" Poe called didacticism the worst of "heresies"); there is no "moral to the story".
Poe's raven is thought to have been inspired by the raven Grip in Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens.

 [minstrels] The Raven -- Edgar Allan Poe
In Poe's masterpieces the double contents of his temper, of his mind, and of his art are fused into a oneness of tone, structure, and movement, the more effective, perhaps, as it is compounded of various elements.
The atmosphere created by Poe especially appeals to the readers senses- the narrator apprises the reader that it is during the month of December, and that the narrator is sitting alone next to a fire, attempting, vainly, to dull the pain of his lost Lenore by reading a book.
Poe uses auditory imagery- "gently rapping, rapping." The rhythm produced with the repetition of "rapping" produces an imagined sound of a knock at the chamber door with each syllable.

Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to parents who were itinerant actors.
Edgar was taken into the home of a Richmond merchant John Allan and brought up partly in England (1815-20), where he attended Manor School at Stoke Newington.
In his supernatural fiction Poe usually dealt with paranoia rooted in personal psychology, physical or mental enfeeblement, obsessions, the damnation of death, feverish fantasies, the cosmos as source of horror and inspiration, without bothering himself with such supernatural beings as ghosts, werewolves, vampires, and so on.
