Sample text
10 Poe chose not to print these poems not because of their quality; rather, he did not print them because they belonged to the manuscript tradition. In other words, Poe did not publish them because they were not intended as public documents. The work of Donald Reiman is useful for understanding the distinction. 11 Poe well understood the relationship between his writing and its intended readership. Album verses, as Poe realized, were con®dential manuscripts written for the album owner and a handful of her close associates with whom she might share the album.
Within a few months Poe moved into separate lodgings and left the city shortly thereafter. After leaving Allan's home, Poe wrote to him asking for passage money to Boston. Allan refused, castigating Poe for his desultory reading and his apparent inability to concentrate on his studies. Allan had no idea that besides ful®lling his required coursework in languages, Poe had been teaching himself British historiography on the side. In his letter refusing to give Poe the passage money, Allan wrote: I taught you to aspire, even to eminence in Public Life, but I never expected that Don Quixotte, Gil Blas, Jo: Miller and such works were calculated to promote the end .
In other words, it took texts not meant to stand alone and stood them alone. ''25 For Poe, of course, the problem was one in theory only. Since the texts he presented as his marginalia were largely ®ctional inventions, any apparent loss of context was deliberate. The separate publication of one's marginalia within the columns of a magazine further complicates the relationship between manuscript and print culture. While marginal notes are private manuscripts, the act of gathering them into a magazine column makes them public.
