Reference note:
Five etchings and two wood-engravings by Alan James Robinson illustrate Poe’s 'The Raven' which is primarily a poem about grief, loss, and the descent into madness. The raven, a symbol of death and the narrator's unending sorrow, embodies the finality of death and the impossibility of forgetting his lost love, Lenore. The poem explores the themes of memory, the supernatural, and the human struggle to cope with profound loss.
