Excerpt from Hitherto Unpublished Poems and Stories: With an Inedited Autobiography The rest of the sheet holds what occupies seven pages and a third in the minute original; there wasbut little revision properly so called; but now and then the brain, working faster than the hand, passed to that slavish member a premature word sometimes one that had been cancelled in the orig inal and had to be cancelled again in the fine new Copy set about for the benefit of posterity. Whether more than the one sheet was ever done I cannot state with certainty: it contains the last word that its length and breadth would hold; and it seems likely that the task was abandoned when that naughty Moses, the black pony, had to have his girths tightened by the delicate little rider, and she got injured in the spine to such a degree that, to use her words to Horne, at fifteen she nearly died. It is worth while to give here, in Opening our sec ond volume, the precise words in which she de cided to clothe her quaint preamble, and allow our readers to compare for themselves the minute de tails of the two versions. But the point in which the quarto sheet is of most value is that it makes quite clear the author's age at the time of revision: she is still fourteen.

Lewis (English, Bethany College) studies Browning's religion as poetry and her poetry as religion, interpreting her literary life as an arduous spiritual quest. Using insights from contemporary feminist thought, she argues that Browning's religious assumptions and insights range from the conventional to the iconoclastic and that her political and social ideology are consistent in light of her spiritual quest. Draws on Browning's most admired poetry as well as her early poems and her political works, and compares her ideology to that of early feminists, conservatives, and male Victorian poets.

Edgar Allan Poe's collection of 72 short stories, novels, and over 80 poems, along with essays, letters, and biography, offers a comprehensive insight into the mind of this renowned American literary figure. Poe's unique blend of macabre themes, psychological depth, and intricate symbolism sets him apart as a pioneer of Gothic fiction and a master of the short story form. His hauntingly beautiful prose and melancholic tone create a sense of unease and suspense that captivates readers from start to finish. This illustrated edition allows readers to fully immerse themselves in Poe's world, appreciating both the words on the page and the visual depictions that accompany them. Edgar Allan Poe's personal struggles, including the loss of loved ones and battles with alcoholism, heavily influenced his writing and added a profound depth to his exploration of themes such as death, love, and madness. His ability to craft intricate plots and memorable characters reflects his keen understanding of human psychology and his fascination with the darker aspects of human nature. I highly recommend Edgar Allan Poe's collection to readers who appreciate gothic literature, psychological depth, and masterful storytelling. This comprehensive volume showcases Poe's diverse talents and offers a unique glimpse into the mind of one of America's most celebrated literary figures.
