As in traditional mythology and folklore, the common raven features frequently in more modern writings such as the works of William Shakespeare, and, perhaps most famously, in the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.
Liksom i traditionell mytologi och folklore förekommer korpen ofta i mer modern litteratur, som exempelvis i William Shakespeares verk, och kanske mest bekant i Edgar Allan Poes dikt "Korpen" (The Raven).
