The Raven: With Literary and Historical CommentaryAn excellent early study of Poe's masterpiece from a literary rather than a psychological point of view. The author discusses "the most popular lyric poem in the world" in terms of the creative genesis of the poem & the history of the poem. Mr. Ingram presents translations that were made into French, German, Hungarian & Latin, a number of fabrications that were published, & some of the many parodies to which the poem gave rise. Includes a bibliography of the early publishing history of the poem. |
