Its funny because Poe, like mostly all great authors, was ignored for most of his life. Jztinfinity 16:28, (UTC) Actually, the Raven is one of English literature's most widely known and beloved poems, beating ,surprisingly, Sahkespeare, Frost and Dickinson. Any study of American literature includes the Raven. Frecklefoot | Talk 19:22, (UTC) It's definitely up there among the most famous (especially if one considers critically appreciated poems). I think it is correct, though, since I've seen many sources which claim it is the best-known American poem. Nick" may be more widely known in some areas and "The Raven" in others.
Most children here study it in grade school. Most people I know have heard of and read the poem. Kinda late in responding here, but any appelation of popularity is going to be subjective and biased. I'll give you that a lot of people know the word "Nevermore" from it, but not the poem itself, and not more than know "Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and" so on. Nick has it beat hands down, not to mention a couple of Longfellow's and Trees, among others. Where is this "widely" where The Raven is considered the most famous American poem? I've been lots of places, but never there yet - where I've been in the U.S., A Visit from St. Otaku17819:56 5 November 2006 The Raven widely popular? TearAwayTheFunerealDress 16:12, 7 November 2005 (UTC) I remeber hearing about that too. Isn't it that a annoyomous person places a rose on his grave and a bottle of whiskey every year on the anniversary of his death? I visited his burial sight last year and that was what I had heard.

We should link to the full source for stories and poems there instead of including the full text of the articles. Bryan Derksen The full text of many of his stories is at WikiSource. I think that the only time a complete work of literature should be included in Wikipedia is when it's been fully annotated as a sort of Coles Notes, which would actually be useful. Pinkunicorn I deleted a couple of William Shakespeare texts from Wikipedia a little while back for similar reasons and nobody complained then, so I think I'll do the same here and just delete the complete texts be bold in updating pages and all that. We should have descriptions and criticism of the texts, though. Make links to Project Gutenberg editions instead. Is there enough disk space here for all literature in the world? I agree, Wikipedia is not the place for complete short stories or novels. But if only the work of one author is added to the encyclopedia, then other authors appear to be less important. You cannot assume every reader knows the work. I don't have an objection if the articles start with a brief title or introduction. Wikipedia may not be paper, but nor is it the sum of all information. I think that about ALL the works of literature that have been put on wikipedia, so far, but especially once they start taking up multiple pages. It would be much more useful for an encyclopedia to have brief articles on the more significant Poe works than to have complete texts. How am I supposed to scroll through this huge amount of clutter then? 69.105.108.18 03:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC) Please place the newest entries at the bottom.
