Poe, Clarence H.. MY FIRST 80 YEARS.
xvi, [ii], 267 pages. Gray cloth-covered boards, gilt spine lettering (hardcover binding). CONDITION: Owner's name and dates "1964-65" written at upper right-hand corner of flyleaf, else Near Fine book without dust jacket. "If a list were drawn up of the half dozen men who have done most for the South since 1900, it would have to include Dr. Clarence Poe," wrote Editor Virginius Dabney of the "Richmond Times-Dispatch" in 1954, when Dr. Poe ended fifty years as editor of "The Progressive Farmer." Mr. Dabney was thinking partly of the magazine itself, which Dr. Poe made into a periodical that was not simply a guide to better farming but a cultural medium for the entire rural South....MY FIRST 80 YEARS begins in the rural South of its author's childhood, just beginning to recover from the physical and spiritual shock of war and defeat. When he went to Raleigh at the turn of the century, he became a member of the group inspired by Walter Hines Page and led by people like Charles Brantley Aycock and Clarence Poe himself, who were invigorating the life of the state and the region. Dr. Poe's first-hand recollections of the men and movements of that time are an invaluable contribution to the understanding of it. From that period the book moves on to wider scenes of travel in Europe and Asia and participation in national movements for health and education. Dr. Poe...has written another book that evokes the spirit of the South at its best - the story of a life lived with courage and humor, dedicated to the region of his birth." C.2.. Chapel Hill, N.C.: The University of North Carolina Press. [1963]. First edition. 8vo (5 3/4" x 8 1/4").

Whitman Sarah Helen: Edgar Poe and His Critics, Tibbitts and Preston, US, 1885 ISBN: No ISBN

Good Plus Plus No Jacket. Hard Cover Second Edition 69 pages, size 7 inches tall by 4.5 inches. Illustrated portrait frontispiece. ' If an introduction were needed to Mrs. Whitman's " Edgar Poe and his Critics," no better words could be found than the following tribute of George William Curtis, originally published in " Harper's Weekly " in 1860:- " In reading the exquisitely tender, subtle, sympathetic, and profoundly appreciative sketch of Edgar Poe, which has just been issued under this title, it is impossible not to remember the brave woman's arm thrust through the slide to serve as a bolt against the enemy. . . . The author, with an inexpressible grace, reserve, and tender, heroic charity, having a right which no-other person has to speak, tells, in a simple, transparent, and quiet strain, what she thinks of his career and genius. ... In the delicate reticence of the book, in its tone of inward music, - as if the singer were humming a melody beneath the song she sings, - there is a pensive and peculiar charm. But it is not a eulogy: it is a criticism which is profound by the force of sympathy, and vigorous by its clear comprehension." The life and genius of Edgar Poe have created a special literature of their own. " Edgar Poe and his Critics " was the earliest book to vindicate Poe from the malice of his enemies, and to unveil something of the mystery of his life. It was the tribute of a poet to a poet, and of a woman to the character of a man to whom she was betrothed, and from whom she was strangely separated in the last year of his life. " Edgar Poe and his Critics "is an essential part of the literature which, in England, France, and America, irradiates the name of Poe. Mrs. Whitman's poems,' the companion volume to " Edgar Poe and his Critics," contains a striking group of poems relating to Poe, of much biographical value. They are entitled " Remembered Music," " Our Island of Dreams," " The last Flowers," " Song," "Withered Flowers," "The Phantom Voice," o" Arcturus in October," " Resurgemus," " Arcturus in April," " The Portrait," and the " Six Sonnets to --," which are rivalled in passionate beauty only by Mrs. Browning's " Sonnets from the Portuguese." " Edgar Poe and his Critics " has been some time out of print. The present edition is published to meet the demand of friends and admirers of Edgar Poe and of Sarah Helen Whitman. W. F. C. '.
