Reprints:
- “Irene” —
May
1831 — Casket (This poem is quoted, along with two
others,
from Poe's 1831 volume of Poems. According to Mabbott, Poems,
1:542, the brief introductory note is presumably by Poe's friend
Lambert A.
Wilmer. Although the identical note appears in the Saturday Evening
Post for May 21, 1831, only the poem "To Helen" is reprinted there,
not the other two items.)
- "Irene"
— July 8, 1831
— Morning Courier and New-York Enquirer (This poem is
quoted, along with two
others,
from Poe's 1831 volume of Poems. It is interesting that these
are the same three poems as reprinted by the Casket for May
1831.)
- "The Sleeper" —
about September 1849 — Richmond Examiner proof sheets — (the
text given by Whitty matches Text 10 exactly. It may be surmised that
the Examiner text was set from Poe's copy of RAOP.
Strangely,
Whitty does not list the J. L. Graham copy of RAOP
in his versions of this poem, although he does include references
to this volume in the variants for other poems.)
