Excerpt from In the Poe Circle: With Some Account of the Poe-Chivers Controversy, and Other Poe Memorabilia
There is no literary reputation in Amer ica, and few literary names of the last half century, that evoke the curious, haunting memory which belongs to Poe. A new and well-authenticated poem bearing his name, which Mr. R. H. Stoddard says he believes it will never be possible at this date to find, would make a tremendous literary event. The discovery of a new Shakespearian play might be more interesting to more people; but in America, and in France, where Poe's influence has distinctly touched two groups of authors belonging to two generations, a genuine Poe discovery would, with large numbers, take precedence.
