Answer:

Edgar Allan Poe used "The Raven" to explain his philosophy of composition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Edgar Allan Poe presented what he considered to be the principles that were mandatory for any kind of writing. He stated that artistic creativity was the principal, but he didn't ignore the methodical approach and technique since he used his own work in "The Raven" as the subject of analysis to explain and prove his point.
