The Mabbott Poe Papers
University of Iowa Libraries
2017
Abstract
Mabbott Poe is an online resource based on the papers of Thomas Ollive Mabbott (1898-1968), editor of the first three volumes of the Collected Works of Edgar Allan Poe. The centerpiece of Mabbott Poe is an exhibit of Mabbott’s research files on Poe’s works in prose and poetry. These contain many of Poe’s probable or actual sources for his tales and poems, first printings as well as reprints in their original periodicals or in facsimile, Mabbott’s as well as his wife Maureen Cobb Mabbott’s notes, and various other intriguing materials. The exhibit provides a model of primary source research, a record of the text editing process, and an ensemble of paper-based editorial materials and techniques.
