J. Lorimer Graham copy of The Raven and Other Poems











Poe's personal copy of The Raven and Other Poems, with numerous changes made in pencil. This copy is bound together with Tales, and appears to have been issued in this form about February 1846. Poe's changes, therefore, may be dated as 1846-1849.

The poems in this edition are listed below, but only the texts with changes have a link:
  • "Preface" (some minor deletions and changes in punctuation, with one substantive phrase transposed)
  • "The Valley of Unrest"  (no changes)
  • "Lenore"  (heavily revised final stanza)
  • "Israfel"  (one small correction)
  • "Dream-land"  (minor changes, mostly in punctuation, but one verbal change)
  • "Sonnet — to Zante"  (no changes)
  • "To F——s S. O——d"  (no changes)
  • "To F———"   (no changes)
