Poe archive from UT Austin goes online

Lori sez, "UT Austin's Ransom Center has digitized their Edgar Allan Poe collection, and it's pretty cool. I especially like the copies of his books, with his notes in them."

Oh, there's tons of Poe treasure here. I'm in hog heaven.

The digital collection incorporates images of all Poe manuscripts and letters at the Ransom Center with a selection of related archival materials, two books by Poe annotated by the author, sheet music based on his poems, and portraits from the Ransom Center collections. Poe's manuscripts and letters are linked to transcriptions on the website of the Poe Society of Baltimore.

The Edgar Allan Poe Digital Collection (Thanks, Lori!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

And that Brenner fellow at the Austin Chronicle covered the show, too, albeit more briefly and with much less research than the NYer’s Lepore spent on the exhibition’s subject:

This article, from the New Yawker, made me look at Poe in a whole different way, the victim of harsh financial conditions of his time, rather than the victim of his own vices and weaknesses:

If you’re in Austin, the very same HRC is having a Poe exhibit that started this week and runs to January 3rd: http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/exhibitions/ . I’m planning to take my 10 and 7 year old.

I heard a cool story on Poe on ATC on KUT back in January as part of his 200th birthday celebration: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99561310
