This checklist, which supplements “Current Poe Bibliography” appearing in Poe Studies, 16 (1983), 34-38, features chiefly entries from 1983-1985, yet includes, too, selected items from 1981-1982. This listing was compiled by a Committee composed of Richard Kopley, The Pennsylvania State University/DuBois Campus; Roberto Cagliero, University of Colorado at Boulder; Lawrence H. Klibbe, New York University; Kent Ljungquist, Worcester Polytechnic Institute; Amy Horning Marschall, The Johns Hopkins University; Tohru Nakamura, Ibaraki University; E. Kate Stewart, Worcester Polytechnic Institute; and Bruce I. Weiner, St. Lawrence University. The Committee will be pleased to receive offprints from any source. Send offprints to Richard Kopley, Department of English, The Pennsylvania State University/DuBois Campus, College Place, DuBois, Pennsylvania 15801.
The Committee wishes to thank American Literary Scholarship for granting permission to include listings from its annual review-essay on Poe criticism and scholarship. In some instances, annotations are also drawn from the MLA International Bibliography. Reviews and review-essays from 1983-1986 will be gathered separately with “International Poe Bibliography: 1986,” to be published next year.
