This checklist supplements “Current Poe Bibliography” appearing in Poe Studies, 6 (1973), 36-42. This listing was compiled by a Committee composed of J. Lasley Dameron, Chairman, Memphis State University; John E. Reilly, College of the Holy Cross; and Thomas C. Carlson, Memphis State University. The Committee will be pleased to receive offprints from any source. Send offprints to J. Lasley Dameron, Department of English, Memphis State University, Memphis, Tennessee 38152.

The Committee wishes to thank the Mississippi Quarterly in granting permission to include listings from its annual bibliography of criticism on Southern Literature. In some instances, moreover, annotations from various bibliographical sources like the MLA International Bibliography and American Literature are utilized. Foreign entries are not annotated, and reprints of earlier studies are listed but are not annotated unless additional bibliographical information is required. The Committee wishes also to acknowledge the aid of several foreign scholars in compiling this list, especially Professors H. J. Lang, Hans Galinsky, Roger Forclaz, and Hisazumi Tagiri.
