"The Raven"

Edgar Allan Poe, 1845

POE, Edgar Allan (1809-1849). "The Raven" in The American Review. Volume I, number II. New York: Wiley and Putnam, February 1845 [but early January].



"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door...."



First printing of "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, in original wrappers. "The Raven" was then and remains today among the most famous of American poems. The poem appears anonymously on pp.143-145 as "by ——— Quarles." The first appearance of "The Raven" is something of a bibliographical dispute. Heartman and Canny consider this form to be the first printing, maintaining that the 29 January 1845 appearance in The Evening Mirror is not the first. The American Review had announced that "No. II will bear date Feb. 1845, but will be issued early in January," thus, unless the publishers were unable to issue the work by the date promised, the present version clearly predates the late January appearance in The Evening Mirror. Heartman & Canny, p.100; Tane Poe 177.



Octavo (222 x 140mm). (A little spotting, mostly marginal.) Original printed wrappers (backstrip just starting); modern half morocco box.
