Abstract

The article focuses on the English translation of "'The Raven' and the Philosophy of Refrain," authored by Dr. Shoko Itoh, a prominent Poe scholar and professor emeritus at Hiroshima University. Dr. Itoh employs a New Critical and phenomenological approach to analyze Edgar Allan Poe's poetry alongside Herman Melville's works, aiming to refresh the established canon of American Renaissance literature. The article highlights her significant contributions to literary scholarship, including her numerous publications and awards, and emphasizes the collaborative efforts of the Poe Society of Japan in producing this translation, which marks a step forward in international Poe studies.
