The Raven is a narrative poem written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1845. It is the most famous of his poems and the one that brought him great fame. The raven gained popularity very quickly, and several reprints and illustrated versions of the poem were made in a short time.

Edgar Allan Poe's intention in writing The Raven was to create a poem that would appeal to both the educated and the popular classes, so he wrote the poem methodically and logically.

A young narrator, whose name is unknown, is followed by a talking crow while he is reading to escape and forget the loss of his beloved Leonora. Suddenly he hears several knocks in the house, through the wall or the window, and when the young man approaches to see what is happening, a raven enters his room.

The narrator asks him for his name but the only thing the raven answers is: "Nevermore", which surprises the narrator since he was not expected to be able to speak. The narrator continues to interact with the raven but continually responds with the same phrase. The narrator thinks that he learned that word from some former owner and that it is the only thing he can pronounce.

The narrator begins to think that the raven is a creature of the devil and tries to get rid of it...
