The rights belong to the real author, not to Edgar Allan Poe, who never wrote "The Raven." Poe merely claimed it in a type of 19th-century "identity theft." The poem's premiere was submitted anonymously to "American Review" under the pseudonym "---- Quarles" by the true author, Mathew Franklin Whittier, younger brother of poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Poe, a reviewer for the NY "Evening Mirror," seeing the poem in an advance copy of "American Review," scooped Mathew in his own paper by a couple of days. Mathew must have shared a copy of "The Raven" with Poe in 1842, so Poe had a handwritten copy. This enabled him to convince his editor that he had permission to scoop "American Review"--but he mysteriously left the "Mirror" shortly afterwards (suggesting that he may have been fired for lying about it). It is absurd that any editor of a newly-launched monthly literary magazine like the "Review," would have given a daily newspaper this permission. The real author was unable to reveal his identity and hence could not publicly defend himself. My paper, "Evidence that Edgar Allan Poe Stole 'The Raven' from Mathew Franklin Whittier," is downloadable at the following link. It can also be found by that title on Academia.edu. www.ial.goldthread.com/MFW_The_Raven.pdf
