Identification of unsigned articles in periodicals Poe edited took time, but far more evidence is available than Harrison had in 1902, and the number of doubtful items is small, surprisingly so to me, I confess. We have about twenty-five percent more material than Harrison. It is not claimed that we can identify every item in the New York Evening Mirror, where Poe was one of four staff members who could use the editorial 'We,' nor in the Broadway Journal where he was one of three. But perhaps we have all we should wish for. Both sides of Poe's Correspondence are to be printed so far as texts are now available.
Great emphasis is laid throughout the edition on the explanatory notes.
New Index to the Harrison Poe . Until the Harvard Poe is published, the Harrison edition of 1902 is being kept in print by AMS Press. It will supplant the Harrison Index itself, which never made any claim to being highly accurate or complete, and will run to nearly 250 pages, as opposed to Harrison's 40 pages. In its accuracy and completeness, this new index promises to be the most useful research tool in Poe studies in twenty years and will doubtless be the basis for any future Index to a new edition of Poe.
