The Complete Poetical Works of Edgar Allan Poe, With Three Essays on Poetry, Edited from the Original: Editions, With Memoir, Textual Notes, Bibliography (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Reseña del editor

Poe was constantly reprinting and revising his poems, there is in most cases no difficulty about deciding upon the text which must be accepted as final. It has been observed that, except in one case, Poe never returned to an earlier reading, and we must therefore obviously accept, for such poems as occur therein, the latest edition published during his life time that of 1845. Of this volume, moreover, Messrs. Edmund Clarence Stedman and George Edward Woodberry, editors of the Works of Edgar Allen Poe in ten volumes, were fortunate enough to find a copy, recently bequeathed by James Lorimer Graham, Esq., to the Century A ssociation, which is enriched by marginal notes in Poe shandwriting for the purpose of being incorporated in later editions .B ythe courtesy of Messrs. Duffield Co., publishers of the Stedman-W oodberry edition, copyright 1894, we have been enabled to incorporate this valuable material.1 The Raven and other Poems, by Edgar A. Poe, 1845, contained the bulk of its authors work in this kind, and has been here reprinted, with preface and dedica tion, precisely as issued, except for the poems revised 1A nedition of this work was also issued in England by Messrs. Lawrence Bullen, who have kindly confirmed Messrs. Duffield spermission.
