Poe uses "The Raven" in his 1846 essay, "The Philosophy of Composition," in order to explain how he believes gifted writers create their best work. He states that writing "The Raven" was extremely logical and planned out, directly contrasting the burst of creativity that some writers had claimed experiencing before writing a good piece.

Answer :

In his 1946 essay on "The Philosophy of Composition," Edgar Allen Poe uses his own poem "The Raven" to explain his theory of how good writers created their best work. He asserts that there are several important factors like length, unity of effect and a logical approach, which need to be taken into consideration to produce a great work. Poe's theory of composition is in direct contrast to the spontaneous burst of creativity experienced by some writers before writing a great piece of work.
