Quoth the Raven: Edgar Allan Poe & Derivative Works
This presentation discusses Edgar Allan Poe's advocacy for copyright law, the breadth of his impact and the many derivative works it has inspired. Poe's work has inspired thousands based on his original stories and poems. For example, Poe's poem The Raven is one of his most widely used works, as it has been used as part of television shows, movies, songs, plays and countless dramatic readings. It is also the only literary work that has an NFL team named after it, the Baltimore Ravens. More than 300 comic books adaptations of Poe's work exist, plus many comics use Poe as a character or as inspiration for a character. Just about every style of music has a song inspired by, or at least mentions, a Poe work. Films dated as far back as 1909 tell Poe's stories. This widespread use of his work is ironic in that Poe was a strong advocate for copyright protections, especially in the international arena, as many of his creative works were reprinted cheaply in England without his permission and without any remuneration.
- Christopher Semtner is curator of the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond, Va. An internationally exhibited artist, he has seen his paintings entered numerous public collections including the Virginia Historical Society and the University of Maryland.
- Enrica Jang is executive director at Poe Baltimore/The Edgar Allan Poe House & Museum in Baltimore. An enthusiast long before she joined Poe House, Enrica has both written and edited books, graphic novels and anthologies inspired by Poe's works.
- Thad Ciechanowski, owner of Dijit Media, is a filmmaker, director and editor. He has directed and edited short, educational films based on Edgar Allan Poe's works, including The Raven and The Cask of Amontillado.

Baltimore is a major city in Maryland with a long history as an important seaport. Fort McHenry, birthplace of the U.S. national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” sits at the mouth of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Today, this harbor area offers shops, upscale crab shacks and attractions like the Civil War–era warship the USS Constellation and the National Aquarium, showcasing thousands of marine creatures.
Baltimore is a popular tourist destination in Maryland, in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States of America, near Washington, D.C. It is perhaps most famously known historically as the city where Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics for the Star Spangled Banner during the Battle of Baltimore of the War of 1812. Today it has become a major center for tourism and travel. Local highlights include excellent seafood (steamed blue crabs, raw oysters, Maryland crab cakes, and Maryland crab soup) and Camden Yards (the first retro major league ball park and where the Baltimore Orioles play). Baltimore possesses a vibrant arts scene with the largest free arts festival in the US (Artscape) occurring annually in July, a renowned arts museum American Visionary Arts Museum that is dedicated to outsider art, and the Maryland Institute College of Art and the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins. It is also home to Johns Hopkins University, Morgan State University, University of Baltimore, Loyola University, Goucher College, and the Notre Dame of Maryland University.
Baltimore has an absolutely staggering number of officially designated neighborhoods, Inner Harbor, If you are a tourist, you come here. Fells Point could not be more complementary to the Inner Harbor—historic. An incongruous mix of Baltimore's central business district, the University of Maryland-Baltimore, the awe inspiring Lexington Market, the infamously seedy Block, and the Bromo Arts District.
One of the nicest sections of the city, home to the performing arts district, Penn Station, and a host of other attractions (Walters Art Museum, the original Washington Monument, dining and wining on Charles St, the University of Baltimore, Station North Arts District etc.) that most visitors foolishly pass over. South Baltimore
Industrial blue-collar South Baltimore is dying, and is quickly being replaced with upscale gentrified neighborhoods like Federal Hill.
Most visitors to the area know only Johns Hopkins University and the always interesting commercial strip along Charles St nearby. But it is unfortunate that they overlook the quirkiest of quirky neighborhoods, Hampden. Infamous West Baltimore. If you have watched the Wire, this was where the crime was taking place! But don't be fooled. There are some major tourist draws here, like the Maryland Zoo in Druid Hill Park, Pimlico Racecourse, and Edgar Allen Poe's House.Baltimore's great rivalry between east and west is certainly an example of the narcissism of small differences. Attractions in the east are very few and far between, but things are changing fast as booming Johns Hopkins Medical Campus expands and demolishes in its wake.
