"The Raven" and its Afterlives
"The Raven" and its Afterlives

Summary/Abstract: This paper is an attempt to describe some ways of seeing Edgar Allan Poe’s work through some of its afterlives, many of them literary but also intermedial ones – drawings, paintings, films, plays and musical pieces. Products inspired by the poem “The Raven” will be characterized as adaptation, translation, ekphrasis, transmediation, representation or else – in their new configurations: drawings , concrete poems, films, novels, paintings, charges, comic books, graphic novels, pieces of music and so on. Because Poe’s work is so extensive and appreciated – and therefore imitated – a variety of processes can be exemplified.
