Horace Binney Wallace

Once again, many apologies for the lack of updates lately. I have several pieces of news and several news stories that I mean to pass on shortly.

For now, I'd just like to point out a short article about a person of interest in Poe's life. Namely, the author of Stanley, Horace Binney Wallace.

The Valley of Unrest

A new .pdf copy of George Douglass Sherley's Valley of Unrest has been posted at the Southern Literary Messenger. This odd little book was reprinted in the August issue, but this version might make easier reading and/or more convenient printing.

Poe on Tennyson

(Crossposted from the Tennyson Bicentennial blog)

For Tennyson, as for a man imbued with the richest and rarest poetic impulses, we have an admiration — a reverence unbounded. His "Morte D'Arthur," his "Locksley Hall," his "Sleeping Beauty," his "Lady of Shalott," his "Lotos Eaters," his "Ænone," and many other poems, are not surpassed, in all that gives to Poetry its distinctive value, by the compositions of any one living or dead.
