About This Quote

The professor asks, "How many of you have read Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Raven'? "A few hands went up. "Poe is considered one of the leading figures in American literature. His short stories are well known for their fantastic plots, dark themes, and macabre imagery. He also wrote the poem "The Raven." Most of his works are based on his personal experiences.

A little over ten years ago, Poe married his cousin Virginia Clemm, who was only nineteen at the time. Her first cousin was John Clemens."Varen paused again to allow her audience to digest this information before continuing with her introduction of Poe's poetry. Most of his poems describe death or dying in some way, but his most famous work is the poem 'Annabel Lee.'
