EspañolNEW YORK MIRROR
(Redirected from New York Evening Mirror)
'''The New-York Mirror''' was a newspaper published in New York City under many variant titles, including ''The Evening Mirror'' from 1844 to 1898
It was founded by Nathaniel Parker Willis and George Pope Morris in 1844. Edgar Allan Poe worked for the newspaper as a critic until February 1845. In the January 29, 1845 issue, the ''Mirror'' was the first to publish Poe's poem "The Raven". In his introduction to the poem, Willis called it "unsurpassed in English poetry for subtle conception, masterly ingenuity of versification, and consistent, sustaining of imaginative lift... It will stick to the memory of everybody who reads it."[1]
After Willis, the newspaper was edited by Hiram Fuller, a noted enemy of Poe. Fuller published attacks on Poe made by Charles Frederick Briggs and Thomas Dunn English in May and June of 1846. A letter printed by the ''Mirror'' in the July 23, 1846 issue caused Poe to sue the newspaper for libel and defamation of character.[2] Poe won the suit and was awarded $225.06 as well as an additional $101.42 in court costs.[3]
