Text-01 — “The Haunted Palace” — 1839, no original manuscript or
fragments are known to exist.
Text-02 — “The Haunted Palace” — before April 1839
Text-02a — “The Haunted Palace” — before April 1839 —
(likely faircopy manuscript prepared for publication and sent to the editors of the American Museum.
This manuscript does not appear to have survived, but the text is presumably perserved in Text-02b.)
Text-03 — “[The Haunted Palace]” in “The Fall of the House of
Usher” — before September 1839
Text-03a — “[The Haunted Palace]” — before September 1839
— (likely faircopy manuscript of the new tale, with the poem copied in its proper place and prepared for
publication in Burton's. This manuscript does not appear to have survived, but the text is
presumably perserved in Text-03b.)
Text-03b — “[The Haunted Palace]”
— September 1839 — in “The Fall of the House of Usher,” Burton's —
(Mabbott text B) (Poe sent copies of this issue of Burton's Gentleman's Magazine to
James E. Heath and to Washington Irving. The copy sent to Heath was apparently accompanied by a note
requesting a review in the Southern Literary Messenger and a reprint of “The Fall of the House of
Usher.” Heath promised a review, but declined the reprint
as it would have required too much space and because he did not feel that the readers of the SLM
particularly appreciated “tales of the German School.” Irving appears to have replied favorably about “The Fall of the House of
Usher.” In a letter to P. P. Cooke, Poe mentions that he is
sending copies of the July, August, and September 1839 issues of Burton's Gentleman's
Magazine, but in Cooke's reply it is clear that he is
responding only to the story as it was printed in Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque, of which Poe
had sent Cooke an inscribed copy. There is no reason to suspect that any of these magazine copies contained
manuscript revisions by Poe.)
Text-04 — “[The Haunted Palace]” in “The Fall of the House of
Usher” — about September 1839
Text-04a — “[The Haunted Palace]” — about September 1839 —
in “The Fall of the House of Usher,” — (speculated copy of Burton's with a few
changes marked, intended for publication in TGA. There is one verbal change in the poem from Text-03b,
where the word reverts back to the earlier form, but many other features of the earlier text are not
restored.)
Text-04b — “[The Haunted Palace]”
— dated 1840, but available for purchase by the fall of 1839 — in “The Fall of the House of
Usher,” TGA — (Mabbott text C)
Text-05 — “The Haunted Palace” — about before May 29, 1841
Text-05a — “The Haunted Palace” — before May 29, 1841 —
(Poe sent a manuscript of several poems to R. W. Griswold in a letter dated May 29, 1841. “The Haunted Palace” and “The Coliseum” are the only two poems
that he mentions by name. Griswold printed both poems in the first edtion of The Poets and Poetry of
America, along with “The Sleeper,” for which a manuscript probably also accompanied this
letter. This manuscript of “The Haunted Palace” has not survived, but the text is presumably
recorded in Text-06. Because Griswold's printed text includes the change of “sovereign” to
“ruler” at the end of the third stanza, made by Poe in Text-05, the changes in that text may
necessarily be earlier than the tentative date of 1842. The alternative would be another manuscript of the
poem sent by Poe, which does not appear to be the case. It would also be possible for Poe to have made the
changes in proof pages of the book, but there is no evidence that he was given an opportunity to see the
proofs.)

(TGAPP) — (Mabbott text D)
Text-07 — “The Haunted Palace” — February 25 - March 4, 1843 —
Saturday Museum — (Mabbott text F) (Poe sent two copies of this article to J. R. Lowell, one
on October 19, 1843 and a second on May
28, 1844. In both cases, he appears to have done so for the purpose of providing Lowell with some
biographical material to use for his article on Poe for Graham's Magazine. There is no indication that
any of the poems in these copies had modifications made by Poe.)
Text-07c — “The Haunted Palace”
— February 1845 — Graham's, printed as part of Lowell's article on Poe —
(Mabbott text G) (Lowell probably took his text from Text-07a, where Poe first published the change of
“ghastly rapid” for “rapid ghastly” in line 45. Poe saw Lowell's article in
manuscript, and presumably made the correction of “morrow” for “sorrow” before sending
it on to Graham's.)
Text-08 — “[The Haunted Palace]” in “The Fall of the House of
Usher” — 1843-1845
Text-08a — “[The Haunted Palace]” in “The Fall of the House of
Usher” — 1843-1845 — (speculated copy of TGAPPB, a different revised copy of
TGA, now lost, but with the text presumably reflected in Text-08b.)
Text-08b — “[The Haunted Palace]”
in “The Fall of the House of Usher” — 1845 — Tales — (Mabbott
text H) (There is one verbal change in the poem) (For Griswold' 1850 reprint
of this entry, from the original stereotype plates, see under reprints.)
Text-09a — “The Haunted Palace” — 1845 — (speculated copy
of Saturday Museum with minor changes marked by Poe in anticipation of the publication in RAOP.
This conjecture is partially supported by the copying of the error of “morrow” for
“sorrow.”)
Text-10 — “The Haunted Palace” —
about 1848 — manuscript sent to R. W. Griswold — (Mabbott text N — This is Mabbott's
copy-text for lines 1-44, the remaining lines are from text R) (The dating of this manuscript is highly
conjectural. It is possible that Poe never sent the manuscript to Griswold, and Griswold simply obtained the
manuscript as part of Poe's papers provided by Mrs. Clemm. It seems clear that it was a manuscript prepared
for publication, with both the title and the byline bearing underlines intended as typesetter instructions, but as
three separate sheets and not yet prepared as a roll manuscript. It does include changes Poe marked in Text-11a.
The changes are fairly minor, and if Poe had simply wanted Griswold to implement them in a new edition, he could
have simply described them in a letter rather than writing out a full new manuscript, since Griswold already had
the basic text. The question remains what purpose Poe may have had in mind in creating this new manuscript, and
Griswold's later possession of the manuscript does not necessary resolve that mystery.)
