Usher’ ”

Annual Newsletter

Poe Fest and Transform Poe announcement

It appears that the US Postal Service has lost the annual Poe Society Membership
mailing. It was taken to the post office several weeks ago, and no trace has
been found.

We are uncertain about our next steps, since it is not possible to get out a new
mailing to arrive before the annual lecture. Consequently, we have provided
links (in the box above for the annual lecture) to PDFs of the newsletter and
Poe Fest/Transform Poe announcement.

Minor update: At least one of the mailings was received in the Philadephia area
late last week, so they may not be entirely lost, just much later than usual. It
still suggests that we should seriously consider moving in a more digital
process in the future.


THE WRITINGS OF EDGAR ALLAN POE:

 * The Collected Works of Edgar Allan Poe  (A comprehensive collection of
   e-texts of all of Poe’s prose and poetical writings, from the original
   sources and with multiple versions as revised during his lifetime — includes
   poems, tales, sketches, essays, literary criticism, letters and miscellanea.
   Along with individual items, several important and scholarly collections are
   also provided, including the Harrison and Mabbott/Pollin editions.)


INFORMATION ABOUT EDGAR ALLAN POE:

 * Edgar Allan Poe: A Critical Biography  (by Arthur Hobson Quinn — still the
   standard biography, perhaps slightly dated but sympathetic, and an impressive
   accumulation of what we know about Poe, done with great care and skill by
   someone with superb academic credentials, training and experience). (For a
   more condensed biography, see the “Annals” by Thomas Ollive Mabbott.)
 * The Poe Log: A Documentary Life of Edgar Allan Poe  (by Dwight R. Thomas and
   David K. Jackson — a chronologically sequenced collection of statements and
   extracts that provides an invaluable overview of Poe’s life, rooted in
   historical documents)
 * The Portraits and Daguerreotypes of Edgar Allan Poe  (by Michael J. Deas —
   the definitive book on Poe’s appearance and iconography, with many images now
   provided in full color)
 * Poe Studies / Dark Romanticism  (Full issues, 1968-1987)
 * A Poe Bookshelf  (A large selection of books, articles and lectures about
   Poe, all presented as e-text, with a few general lists of errata for more
   current books still under copy-right.)
 * General Topics about Edgar Allan Poe  (Standard Reference Works, Poe’s Death,
   etc.)

“Depend upon it, after all, Thomas, Literature is the most noble of professions.
In fact, it is about the only one fit for a man. For my own part, there is no
seducing me from the path.” — from a letter by Edgar Allan Poe to Frederick W.
Thomas (February 14, 1849).

Anyone is free to use information from this site for any legitimate purpose
without charge as long as sources are properly noted. (Links to this site are
welcome, and educational or artistic uses are encouraged. Wholesale lifting of

Although substantially complete, various parts of this site are still under
construction, and new material is constantly being added. Providing
comprehensive and reliable information takes time, so please bear with us.
(Proofreading pages, particularly historical items, requires considerable
effort, and is likely to be a perpetual task.) We are currently in the process
of giving the site a major rennovation to adopt XHTML (1.0 strict) and CSS. As
part of these changes, we will continue to replace the white background with a
colored one (to reduce the harsh appearance and improve readability on the
screen) and add boxes to give pages a sense of visual continuity. (The box style
of the heading changes somewhat to reflect the rank of that page in the overall
hierarchy. The four main section division pages resemble the box at the top of
the current page, and feature the image of Poe with his signature. Pages within
each of these divisions have a slightly different style of box, and carry a
navigation line at the top. The current page, referred to in navigation bars
within this site as “Main Menu,” is technically the “Home” page.) Although these
standards continue to evolve, it is presumed that sufficient time has passed so
that they are supported in most browsers. Generally, revised pages will appear
with a beige frame against a dark green background. These changes are part of an
ongoing process and must be accomplished page by page. There are inevitably
formatting quirks between various browsers, and although every reasonable effort
has been made to support all major browsers, our pages are chiefly adapted to
Firefox.
