THE WORKS in Four Volumes. Vol. I - TALES; Vol. II - POEMS & MISCELLANIES; Vol. III - THE LITERATI.; Vol. IV - ARTHUR GORDON PYM &c

1850145961850. . by N.P. Willis J.R. Lowell and R.W. Griswold. New York: J.S. Redfield 1850 Vol IV in 1856. 4 pp Vol I ads; 8 pp Vol IV ads. Original blind-stamped purple and blue-grey cloth. First Collected Edition of Poe's writings published beginning in the year following his sudden death at the age of 40. According to the Vol I note by Maria Clemm Poe's aunt and mother-in-law he had requested shortly before his death that Rufus Griswold act as literary executor and that N.P. Willis write "such observations upon his life and character as he might deem suitable.". This is the resulting work which she says is "published for my benefit" she had assigned her rights in it to Redfield for a fee. The first two volumes were issued together in December 1849 or January 1850. The first volume which includes a Poe portrait frontispiece consists of Poe's "Tales" -- including all those for which he is famous -- "The Gold Bug" "The Murders of the Rue Morgue" "The Black Cat" "The Pit and the Pendulum" "The Cask of Amontillado" "The Tell-Tale Heart" and so on; the second volume contains his verse such as "The Raven" "Lenore" "Annabel Lee" "The Conqueror Worm" and "Tamerlane." This pair is from the second printing determinable by the ads in Vol I and on page 46 of Vol II; these volumes are in Blanck's faded-purple binding "D" four filigree rules on spine volume number in gilt. Later in 1850 September a third volume THE LITERATI etc. -- including Griswold's infamous "Sketch" of Poe was issued; this copy is likewise in binding "D" but in blue-grey. Finally six years later a fourth and final volume including ARTHUR GORDON PYM was also issued -- Blanck's binding "H" here in purple specific for this volume but also used for 1853-1856 reprints of the earlier volumes. This set is generally in very good condition with minor wear at the extremities; the front endpaper is excised in Vols I II and III; Vol II has some soil on pages 22-27; and Vol IV has darkened page margins and a bit more edge-wear than the other volumes.

1845111538New York: Wiley and Putnam 1845. Rare first edition in book form of Poe's famed work. Octavo bound in three quarters morocco over marbled boards gilt titles to the spine raised bands. In very good condition with some light foxing and usual wear. BAL 16147. The Raven is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. First published in January 1845 the poem is often noted for its musicality stylized language and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover often identified as being a student is lamenting the loss of his love Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of a number of folk mythological religious and classical references. Biographer Hervey Allen: The most important volume of poetry that had been issued up to that time in America. In this little volume the weary wayworn wanderer had successfully reached his own native shore in the realm of imagination" Grolier 100 American 56. Poe considered "The Raven" to be his finest poem--indeed he was quoted as saying it was the finest poem ever written. Wiley and Putnam hardcover books

The Raven and Other Poems

18451001883New York: Wiley and Putnam 1845. First edition in book form of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" the single most famous American poem of the nineteenth century first published earlier that year in the New York Evening Mirror under Poe's own name and The American Review under a pseudonym. Partly inspired by the early lyrics of Elizabeth Barrett later Browning to whom he dedicated this volume of poems Poe composed "The Raven" in trochaic octometer with a deranged musicality all his own. The elements are familiar even to those who don't read poetry: the "midnight dreary" the silk-curtained chamber the raven perched upon the bust of Athena the relentless refrain that drives the narrator mad. "'Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken! / Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door! / Take thy beak from out my heart and take thy form from off my door!' / Quoth the Raven 'Nevermore.'" Even before publication Poe knew he had a sensation on his hands. When a friend described an early reading of the poem as "fine uncommonly fine" Poe responded: "Is that all you can say for this poem I tell you it's the greatest poem ever written." Poe's fame only increased with the appearance of contemporary parodies like "The Owl" and "The Polecat": a contemporary recalls "'The Raven' became known everywhere and everyone was saying 'Nevermore.'" The publication of "The Raven" paved the way for Wiley and Putnam's publication of Poe's Tales the collection that introduced his pioneering detective fiction to a wider audience that same year. BAL 16147. A near-fine copy of a landmark in American literature. Octavo measuring 7.25 x 5 inches: 6 91 1. Early twentieth-century full russet calf boards single-ruled in gilt raised bands black morocco spine labels spine single-ruled and lettered in gilt gilt dentelles marbled endpapers.

Animal Magnetism. Optimistic Attributions. Poe Edgar Allan alleged author.ABAA

The Philosophy of Animal Magnetism Together with the System of Manipulating Adopted to Produce Ecstasy and Somnambulism--The Effects and the Rationale. By a Gentleman of Philadelphia.

183719474Philadelphia: Printed and Published by Merrihew & Gunn 1837. First edition. Boards soiled and spotted and the edges rubbed; spine split nearly the length of the joint and front board loose; some light foxing throughout; a good sound copy only. 12mo original rose linen spine printed drab boards 84 pages. Poe enthusiast Joseph Jackson was fresh off his triumphant 1920 attribution to Poe of the uncommon pseudonymous anti-Dickens English Notes Boston 1842 by "Quarles Quickens" when in Jackson's own words "the publicity given that discovery set a good many booksellers delving for copies. One Philadelphia bookseller who had not been fortunate enough to uncover a copy . . . did run across an anonymous little book which seemed to him to have a Poesque touch although he could not exactly explain why he was thus impressed. He had no knowledge of the copy which came into his possession but when I was looking over his stock he handed it to me with the remark: 'This looks as if it was written by Poe.'" From this characteristic bookseller remark--a certain offhand scholarly optimism cloaked in the guise of expertise with enough of modesty to serve as a disclaimer and nothing so vulgar here as the mention of a profit--there of course soon burst a moderate boom for this title. In the foreword to the new edition of the Philosophy of Animal Magnetism Philadelphia 1928 which inevitably followed Jackson makes a show of professing a suitably demure initial skepticism before launching into a series of confident assertions regarding Poe's identity as the author--Poe must have visited Philadelphia in 1837 as he had nothing else much better to do; the address of the printers in Carter's Alley puts them on the same block as the editor Samuel Atkinson which "would suggest that Poe had called on Atkinson and that the latter had referred him to the printers as likely to publish the book;" the use of italics and small capitals for emphasis is particularly characteristic of Poe "It is true that his publishers in later years dispensed with the use of small capitals but the printers of 'Animal Magnetism' Merrihew and Gunn Philadelphia were a new firm and did not remain long in business. They evidently followed the author's copy literally"; the appearance of the word "Literati" in the dedication to the receptive mind inevitably suggests Poe etc. etc. Jackson's case was sufficiently convincing to collector J. K. Lilly who reportedly paid $2500 for a copy of the first edition of The Philosophy of Animal Magnetism and--given the well-known difficulties of proving a negative allied to the book trade's understandable reluctance to give up a profitable attribution--later bibliographers have seemed equivocal about showing Jackson's claims the door. BAL vol. 7 page 150 notes "Jackson attributes this piece . . . to Poe" thus leaving outside the Poe canon while bibliographer of animal magnetism Adam Crabtree remarks "Although there is no general agreement on the matter this book has been attributed to Edgar Allan Poe." Scribner in 1941 offered a copy of the first edition for the then-substantial sum of $175 under the fig leaf of "Attributed by some authorities to the pen of Poe." Only Merle Johnson seems to have sufficient temerity to note as early as 1936 that this title "is now definitely established as not the work of Poe." All this having been said still an interesting early American work on the subject including instructions on how to induce magnetic somnambulism. Crabtree 385.
