The Raven
Edgar Allan Poe
1845 Gothic & Horror
Genre
Poetry is the form that suffers most from bad digital editions, because line breaks and spacing carry meaning. The reader on this site preserves the formatting of the Project Gutenberg HTML editions, and each collection here has a note on how it was assembled.
Where to start: Leaves of Grass is best read in short sittings. The Raven takes ten minutes.
