1831
Edgar Allan Poe wrote "The Raven" by carefully crafting each stanza with a focus on creating a haunting atmosphere and building suspense. He used repetition, rhyme, and meter to enhance the poem's musicality and to emphasize the narrator's descent into madness. Poe's meticulous attention to detail and word choice contributed to the timeless and chilling quality of this famous poem.
