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.
