International Poe Bibliography: 1998-2000 James Neiworth, Compiler This continuation of the “International Poe Bibliography ,”supplementing the 1992-93 installment published in Poe Studies/Darfi Romanticism 27 (1994):527 , was compiled by a committee headed byJames Neiworth. Committee members include KeelyKuhlman , Alexander Hammond, Christopher McGunnigle ,IkesueYoko, HenriJustin, Roger Forclaz,Sandy Hughes, Roberto Cagliero,ElizabethHammond, and Amy Branam. (Listingsfor 1994-97 will appear in a future issue.) The committee has tried to be as comprehensive as possible, but in selecting material most likely to be of interest to an audience of literaryscholars,we generally did not include references to Poe in recent fiction, poetry, film,music,and such popular culture forms as graphic novels. Additionally, neither the absence nor, on the other hand, the length of an annotation should be viewed as an evaluation of the work’s scholarlymerit. Sources for annotations that cite the “author’s abstract” may be found at the journal’s Web site . We will be pleased to receive offprints for upcoming installments of the “International Poe Bibliography,” which will cover 1994-97 and 2001-3 (send to the Editorial Office, Poe Studies, Department of English, Washington State University, Pullman, WA 991645020 ). Be sure to include all relevant bibliographic information, and please note that annotations to work published outside the United States are especially welcome. Achilles,Jochen. “Purgers and Montaged Men: Masculinityin Hawthorne’sand Poe’s ShortStories.” Amerikastudien/Am.ericanStudies 43, no. 4 (1998): 577-92. [Achillesexamines two versions of masculinity represented in the works of Irving, Poe, and Hawthorne-one that mandates uniformity and a rejection of heterogeneity and the other that includes heterogeneity as well as an acceptance of diversity. His essay is an exploration of the tension between these two poles of masculinityand how this tension is reflected in the authors’ contemporary society.] .“The Technological Imagination and the Antebellum American Short Story.” In Early Anmica &-Explored: New Readings in Colonial,Early National, and Antebellum Culture, edited by Klaus H. Schmidt and Fritz Fleischman, 505-36. New York: Peter Lang, 2000. [Invention had its impact on nineteenth-century America, as displayed in various reactions from literature addressing the anxietyand aweprovoked by society’stechnological revolutions. Viewed from a historical vantage point in connection to the dark tone of American authorssuch asHawthorne, Melville,and Poe, humanity’sreaction to the mechanical revolution is one of fear,failure, and frustration.Three main categories of reaction were born from the collective reflection of Poe, Hawthorne, and Melville: metaphysical failure, the dehumanization of power structures, and the promotion (and failure ) of utopian societies.] Allen, Thomas Michael. “Outof the Fold: Difference in American Literary History.” Arizona Quarterly 55 (autumn 1999): 135-50. [Though Poe remained aliteraryoutsider throughout his lifetime, Allen argues that the traits that once marked Poe as other, as counter and even inferior to his eminent peers, have now elevated him to a canonical stance almost equal to his contemporaries-although , according to Allen, he still enjoys more esteem in Europe and Latin America than in the United States. Examining Poe through the lens of difference, Allen compares BarbaraJohnson’s celebration of the breach between language and identity to Poe’s tactic of positioning the “knowledge of difference before narrative functions to render invisiblethe gap between signifierand signified ” (148). By considering both Poe’s and Johnson’s approach to the purloined letter,Allen explores the American conception of language 38 as evidenced in a uniquely American literary form.] Amfreville,Marc. “CharlesBrockdenBrown etEdgar Allan Poe:Transformationsetanamorphoses,figures de la litt6rature am6ricaine.” Imaginaires 4 nothing but a shell of uninventive hardware.] B&-tolo, Constantino. “Elterror como arte” (Terror as art).
