Editorial Review of The Raven
All 27 of Doré's detailed, masterly engravings from a rare 19th-century edition of The Raven, among the most popular American poems ever written. Dreamlike, otherworldly illustrations perfectly capture the bleak despair and mournful musings of Poe's poem. Apposite quotations from the poem are printed on facing pages; complete text is also included.

Review Summary: Has Everything You Could Ask For
Review: I had to memorize this poem years ago. For years I believed that everyone did. Maybe it's a shame that they didn't.
Customer Rating:
Review Summary: ridden with malaise
Review: Not only is this book about intense emotions, but it takes you on a trip through madness. All the pieces are so well interwoven that you come out of it trembling with the central character.

Review Summary: Great!
Review: The poem, The Raven, was a reall scary peom. If you are 11 or 12, read the book, The Man Who Was Poe. It's also scary.

Review Summary: It was very interesting
Review: Sure, amybe I didn't really understand this poem, but who needs to? I loved the way the words sort of came off of the page and into your mind, and how it made you use your imagination in order to understand it. That made it all the more creepy. I'm not sure if the movie THE CROW was sort of based on the poem, but I know that it(the poem) is quoted, and that the movie was excellent.
Review Summary: Has Everything You Could Ask For
Review: I had to memorize this poem years ago. For years I believed that everyone did. Maybe it's a shame that they didn't.
This is classic Poe. It's not long. It is tight, straight to the point, and foreboding. And that is not the reason to buy the book.
The book really worth buying because of the classic illustration's by Dore. They are fantastic. They perfectly catch the tone of the poem. In a time before movies, animated cartoons, or TV, these illustrations showed the poem that was being read (probably out loud by an adult). They worked then. They still work.
Your children, your grandchildren, and your siblings will enjoy it as much as you will.
