This fascinating literary essay, written by the famous American writer and poet, Edgar Allan Poe, explores the mystique of artistic creation.

By using his renowned poem 'The Raven' as an example, Poe explains how good writers write well, concluding that brevity, 'unity of effect' and a logical method are the most important factors.
