The Raven is Edgar Allan Poe's most famous poem, first published on January 29, 1845 in the New York daily newspaper Evening Mirror. Characterized by musicality, artistic expressiveness and a mystical atmosphere, it tells of the mysterious visit of a talking raven to a heartbroken young man who has lost his beloved. In response to questions full of despair and hope, the raven repeats the word “nevermore”, which aggravates the hero’s mental anguish. The poem contains some references to folklore, mythology and antiquity.
