Other Poe-Related Links




An Index of Poe-related Sites
Heyward Ehrlich's "A Poe Webliography: Edgar Allan Poe on the Internet" provides an extremely useful, categorized index of sites with a variety of information about Poe and his writings.

Online Exhibit of Poe Memorabilia: Susan Jaffe Tane Collection
Cornell University is hosting an online exhibit of an amazing collection of Poe books and manuscripts. It includes first printings of all of the books printed during Poe's lifetime, with one of only 12 known copies of the 1827 Tamerlane, along with a number of letters and manuscripts of such literary works as "Epimanies," "Spirits of the Dead," "To Zante" and several fragments. A printed catalog is also available from Cornell.

Reservations should be noted about two items in the exhibit:
1) A silhouette of Poe, with the initials "EAP." This item has been questioned by Michael Deas, the recognized authority on Poe iconography.
2) A charchoal portrait supposedly of Poe and Mrs. Allan. The woman in the portrait bears no resemblance to Frances Allan, and the boy is too young to allow for the possibility of the woman being the second Mrs. Allan. More troubling, the clothing suggests a date closer to 1880 than 1820. Charcoal portraits gained great popularity in the latter half of the 19th century.










Poe Studies: Dark Romanticism
Poe Studies: Dark Romanticism is a long-established and well-respected academic journal, with one or two numbers published more or less annually since 1968. Many articles have been contriubted by leading Poe scholars.

House of Usher
An intriguing web page that emphasizes, but is not limited to, a popular approach to Poe, including lists of films and comic books based on Poe's works and numerous commercial offerings from videos to t-shirts. This somewhat eccentric site is maintained by Peter Forrest. It has been around for several years and is deservedly well recognized.
