- Edgar Allan Poe’s stature as a major figure in world literature is primarily based on his ingenious and profound short stories, poems, and critical theories, which established a highly influential rationale for the short form in both poetry and fiction.
Jan 30, 2020 The Raven, best-known poem by Edgar Allan Poe, published in 1845 and collected in The Raven and Other Poems the same year. Poe achieved instant national fame with the publication of this melancholy evocation of lost love. Full throttle remastered (2017).

Nov 04, 2013 The Raven, directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) comes a fictional but somewhat accurate portrayal of Edgar Allan Poe, and of the time period when he spent his final days hunting a killer.
