International Poe Bibliography: 1992-1993

Scott Peeples, Compiler

Bibliography Committee Members: Erik Bledsoe, Timothy P. Caron, Shoko Itoh, Phil Phillips, Leonard Vraniak Jr., Susan Welsh, Janet Whyde

This checklist, which supplements the installment of “International Poe Bibliography: 1989- 1991,” appearing in Poe Studies/Dark Romant i - c ism 25 (1992): 10-36, was compiled by a committee headed by Scott Peeples, Niagara Univer- sity. Committee members include Erik Bledsoe, Vanderbilt University; Timothy P. Caron, Biola University; Shoko Itoh, Hiroshima University; Phil Phillips, Vanderbilt University; Leonard Vraniak Jr., Louisiana State University; Susan Welsh, Indi- ana University of Pennsylvania; and Janet Whyde, Louisiana State University. The committee would like to acknowledge the help of Anne Tyler Net- ick of the Poe Museum, Richmond; Terence Ford, M L A International Bibliography; Burton R. Pollin, City University of New York, Emeritus; the De- partment of English and Communication, College of Charleston; and the Robert Scott Small Library Interlibrary Services, College of Charleston.

The committee will be pleased to receive off- prints for 1996’s “International Poe Bibliography,” which will cover scholarship for 1994-95 (send to Scott Peeples, Dept. of English, Niagara Univer- sity, Niagara NY 14109). Be certain to include all relevant bibliographic information, and please note that annotations to foreign articles are appre- ciated.

Finally, a note on the bibliography’s method- ology. While the committee has tried to be as in- clusive as possible, we generally did not seek references to Poe in recent fiction, poetry, and popular culture (although this installment does include two literary works that focus primarily on Poe). Read- ers can find references to Poe in popular culture regularly in the Poe Studies Associat ion Newslet- ter. Secondly, the length or absence of an annotation is not intended as an evaluation of a work’s importance. In some cases, we could not locate a copy for annotation; in others, the work’s title seemed self-explanatory.

Hoeveler, Diane Long. “The Hidden God and the Abjected Woman in ‘The Fall of the House of Usher.”’ Studies in Short Fiction 29 (1992): 385-95.

Poe’s layering of history (Mogon, Apollo, Christ) is an early example of Foucault’s notion that history is ”a series of ran.dom, dis- connected discursive acts.” Hoeveler draws parallels between Roderick Usher and Ju- lia Kristeva’s description of abjection, noting Usher’s move to create a feminine double for himself.

Kennedy, J. Gerald. “Poe, ‘Ligeia,’ and the Prob- lem of Dying Women.” In New Essays on Poe’s Major Tales, ed. Kenneth Silverman, 113-29.

Kennedy contrasts Poe’s representations of women in his poetry (where female beauty and love nourish the male subject and their absence devastates him) with those of his fiction (where women are “object[s] of fear and revulsion”). The powerful Ligeia is an ex- ception, a poetic intruder into the realm of prose; Rowena, her prosaic, victimized coun- terpart. Thus “Ligeia” exposes a “neurotic paradigm” of male “dependency-desolation- retribution.”

. Review of Edgar Al lan Poe: His Life and Legacy, by Jeffrey Meyers. Poe Stud- ies/Dark Romant ic i sm 25 (1992): 42-44.

While Meyers’s book fills the need for a popular study of Poe’s life aimed at a general, ed- ucated readership, Pollin fears i t will “solve” the complexities of Poe and deter its audience from consulting more “expert and illuminat- ing opinions.”

Prown, Katherine Hemple. “The Cavalier and the Syren: Edgar Allan Poe, Cornelia Wells Wal- ter, and the Boston Lyceum Incident.” N e w England Quarterly 66 (1993): 110-23.

The Lyceum incident finds Poe blaming the “mass audience” and women writers for his “literary failure.” Prown points specifically to Poe’s critique of the “feminine” standards of “Beauty” and “Truth,” for example, in defin- ing “true literature.”

. “Communications” (Letter to the Editor). N e w England Quarterly 66 (1993): 465-67.

Reilly, John E. “Poe’s ‘Diddling’: Still Another Possible Source and Date of Composition.” Poe Studies/Dark R o m a n t i c i s m 25 (1992): 6- 9.

Reilly joins the debate over the inspiration and composition date of Poe’s “Diddling Con- sidered One of the Exact Sciences.“ Reilly speculates that the satire was written in 1840 in response to the exploits of David Theodo- sius Hynes and was published only because of Poe’s financial troubles of 1843.

Poe grounds his tale in the “immoral didac- ticism” of contemporary dark temperance, anti-Masonic, and anti-Catholic literature, but he carefully constructs “Cask” to illumi- nate the psychology of revenge and the paradoxes implicit in those sensationalist genres.

Ridgely, J. V. “The Authorship of the ‘Paulding- Drayton Review.”’ PSA Newsletter 20.2 (1992): 1-3, 6.

Ridgely argues that available evidence sup- ports Beverly Tucker as the author of the proslavery essay-review from the Sou thern Li terary Messenger. Joan Dayan and Dana D. Nel- son, in exploring issues of race in Poe’s work, have recently “cite[d] approvingly” Bernard J. Rosenthal’s 1974 article supporting attri- bution to Poe.

Rosenheim, Shawn. “The King of Secret Read- ers: Edgar Allan Poe and the Cryptographic Imagination.” D A I 54.1 (1993): 180-81-A.

Theorizes that Poe’s writing on cryptography, submitted in 1839 t o Alexander’s Weekly, serves as “a quasi-semiotic model of the sign, and an implicit theory of language.” Poe’s theory of cryptography then functioned as a template for his fiction.

. “Never-ending Biography.” Re- view of Edgar A . Poe: Mournful and Never- ending Remembrance, by Kenneth Silverman.

American Quarterly 45 (1993): 312-21.

Rosenheim praises Silverman’s biography but finds too much of the ghost of Marie Bona- parte (fiction reveals the life) and not enough recontextualization of Poe’s life along the lines of postmodern critiques of knowledge and of literary historiography.

Argues that Warren’s novel presents the Jer- boam Beauchamp and Colonel Sharp murder case as “an anti-tragedy” in “opposition to Poe’s construction of the event as tragedy” in Politian.
