Poe Edgar Allan
The Raven and Other Poems
New York: Wiley and Putnam 1845. First edition in book form of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" the single most famous American poem of the nineteenth century first published earlier that year in the New York Evening Mirror under Poe's own name and The American Review under a pseudonym. Partly inspired by the early lyrics of Elizabeth Barrett later Browning to whom he dedicated this volume of poems Poe composed "The Raven" in trochaic octometer with a deranged musicality all his own. The elements are familiar even to those who don't read poetry: the "midnight dreary" the silk-curtained chamber the raven perched upon the bust of Athena the relentless refrain that drives the narrator mad. "'Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken! / Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door! / Take thy beak from out my heart and take thy form from off my door!' / Quoth the Raven 'Nevermore.'" Even before publication Poe knew he had a sensation on his hands. When a friend described an early reading of the poem as "fine uncommonly fine" Poe responded: "Is that all you can say for this poem I tell you it's the greatest poem ever written." Poe's fame only increased with the appearance of contemporary parodies like "The Owl" and "The Polecat": a contemporary recalls "'The Raven' became known everywhere and everyone was saying 'Nevermore.'" The publication of "The Raven" paved the way for Wiley and Putnam's publication of Poe's Tales the collection that introduced his pioneering detective fiction to a wider audience that same year. BAL 16147. A near-fine copy of a landmark in American literature. Octavo measuring 7.25 x 5 inches: 6 91 1. Early twentieth-century full russet calf boards single-ruled in gilt raised bands black morocco spine labels spine single-ruled and lettered in gilt gilt dentelles marbled endpapers. Handwritten slip tipped onto second fly leaf noting "inner gilt dentelles by Zaehnsdorf." Lacking original wrappers half title and ads. Joints expertly repaired a few light scratches to lower board.

In very good condition with some light foxing and usual wear. BAL 16147. The Raven is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. First published in January 1845 the poem is often noted for its musicality stylized language and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover often identified as being a student is lamenting the loss of his love Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of a number of folk mythological religious and classical references. Biographer Hervey Allen: The most important volume of poetry that had been issued up to that time in America. In this little volume the weary wayworn wanderer had successfully reached his own native shore in the realm of imagination" Grolier 100 American 56.

Poe Edgar Allan
THE WORKS in Four Volumes. Vol. I - TALES; Vol. II - POEMS & MISCELLANIES; Vol. III - THE LITERATI.; Vol. IV - ARTHUR GORDON PYM &c
1850. . by N.P. Willis J.R. Lowell and R.W. Griswold. New York: J.S. Redfield 1850 Vol IV in 1856. 4 pp Vol I ads; 8 pp Vol IV ads. Original blind-stamped purple and blue-grey cloth. First Collected Edition of Poe's writings published beginning in the year following his sudden death at the age of 40. According to the Vol I note by Maria Clemm Poe's aunt and mother-in-law he had requested shortly before his death that Rufus Griswold act as literary executor and that N.P. Willis write "such observations upon his life and character as he might deem suitable.". This is the resulting work which she says is "published for my benefit" she had assigned her rights in it to Redfield for a fee. The first two volumes were issued together in December 1849 or January 1850. The first volume which includes a Poe portrait frontispiece consists of Poe's "Tales" -- including all those for which he is famous -- "The Gold Bug" "The Murders of the Rue Morgue" "The Black Cat" "The Pit and the Pendulum" "The Cask of Amontillado" "The Tell-Tale Heart" and so on; the second volume contains his verse such as "The Raven" "Lenore" "Annabel Lee" "The Conqueror Worm" and "Tamerlane." This pair is from the second printing determinable by the ads in Vol I and on page 46 of Vol II; these volumes are in Blanck's faded-purple binding "D" four filigree rules on spine volume number in gilt. Later in 1850 September a third volume THE LITERATI etc. -- including Griswold's infamous "Sketch" of Poe was issued; this copy is likewise in binding "D" but in blue-grey. Finally six years later a fourth and final volume including ARTHUR GORDON PYM was also issued -- Blanck's binding "H" here in purple specific for this volume but also used for 1853-1856 reprints of the earlier volumes. This set is generally in very good condition with minor wear at the extremities; the front endpaper is excised in Vols I II and III; Vol II has some soil on pages 22-27; and Vol IV has darkened page margins and a bit more edge-wear than the other volumes. Blanck 16158 16159 16161; Heartmann & Canny pp 129-131. unknown books
