The Raven (Illustrated)
The Raven (Illustrated) | Edgar Allan Poe
183 posts | 273 read | 25 to read
This Top Five Classics illustrated edition of Edgar Allan Poes The Raven includes: All 25 illustrations by Gustave Dor for Harper & Brothers 1884 edition An informative Introduction A detailed Biography of Edgar Allan Poe The illustrated version and text-only version of the full poem No poem has ever received the kind of immediate and overwhelming response that Poes The Raven did when it first appeared in the New York Evening Mirror on January 29, 1845. It made Poe an overnight sensation (though his great fame never brought him much wealth) and the poem, a powerfully haunting elegy to lost love, remains one of the most beloved and recognizable verses in the English language. The illustrations that accompany this Top Five Classics edition are reproductions of the renowned French artist Gustave Dors steel-plate engravings created for Harper & Brothers 1884 release of The Raven. It would be Dors last commission as he died shortly after completing the 25 illustrations in January 1883. His illustrations would become famous in their own right, evoking as they do the lyrical and mystical air of Poes masterpiece.

I am watching The Pale Blue Eye on Netflix and Poe‘s character is so engaging & intriguing! This led me to talking to my daughter about The Raven & Tell Tale Heart. Here is a terrific reading on YouTube - the narrator‘s voice so deep and resonant. 💔 (I don‘t think she got much out of it, she said, “I‘m not much of a poetry person.” )😜 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wAdQ3CcPHQU

DogMomIrene Oh, I‘ve been debating starting that series. I‘m trying to cut back on series, but it looks really good! 2y
Leftcoastzen Thanks for posting! Just listened, amazing reading of The Raven.My sixth grade teacher introduced us to Poe , it definitely changed my life , excited me about literature‘s potential. 2y
Tamra @DogMomIrene perhaps put it on your watchlist. I‘m enjoying it! 2y

Tamra @Leftcoastzen yes, I think it was in the 6th grade as well! My daughter wasn‘t convinced. 😅 2y
jlhammar The Pale Blue Eye is on my “watch soon” list. Glad to hear you‘re enjoying it! 2y
batsy I thought the actor who played him did so well and I nearly fell off my chair when I learned that he's cousin Dudley from the Harry Potter films! 😆 2y
BiblioLitten Thank you for sharing! 2y
Tamra @batsy oh funny! I was taken aback by the southern accent, but I read there are accounts he had or used one. Apparently he was especially fond of Virginia. 2y
Tamra @BiblioLitten you are welcome! 2y
Tamra @jlhammar I hope you like it! It‘s very atmospheric, perfect for winter viewing. 2y
Cathythoughts Oh Thankyou! I must look up this series. Sounds good 👍🏻♥️ 2y
Tamra @Cathythoughts I finished the movie today and it‘s entertaining! Well acted and filmed. 2y

I #believe that I will be able to complete my #resolution2020, which is to read two poems a week and one classic a month.
It is only after I started poetry that I realised how much I had missed it all these years. Poe took me back to college. I love it!! 🖤

Kimberlone @Jesstifies full disclosure: I totally would if I ever got a hold of a life size Poe cutout. In college I had a Harry Potter cutout that traveled with me from house to house until it got too destroyed to keep around anymore. 5y

theresidentromantic @CoverToCoverGirl Hi ♥️ Yes! I just got married in October and I dropped off using Litsy more than a bit because I feel like what I read isn't really what everyone else reads around here, besides you guys! But I'm still around ♥️♥️ 5y
CoverToCoverGirl Congratulations, how exciting! My son was married in September. I kinda dropped off of Litsy too for about 3 months because it felt like there was some kind of shift and it didn‘t quite feel the same, still doesn‘t but I‘m back because I love the books & bookish people. From what I can see quite a few regular Littens have departed according to some of the posts I‘ve recently seen, so something has obviously occurred. 5y
