Searching Poe Studies/Dark Romanticism

Due to the overhead of creating and supporting an independent search function, this site does not currently have such a capability internally. Fortunately, searching of the site may be accomplished through the use of a commercial search engine, like GOOGLE, and probably better than we could do it anyway. Select the scope of the search and press “submit.” The user will then be taken to the search results, with the appropriate domain and sub-directory restriction already applied, based on the selection. (Formerly, for GOOGLE, we used the advanced search box with parameters preset, but GOOGLE appears to have dropped support for this option at the beginning of 2025.)

 
Tips:

• The appropriate directory will be determined based on the selection made above. It is not possible to specify multiple directories for a single search.
• A subject index was printed in 1984, covering all issues up to that point. One advantage of an index over searching is that a good subject index is often more comprehensive. For example, if one is searching for references in Poe's works to William Shakespeare, searching for “Shakespeare“ will miss instances where Poe spells the name in the older form of “Shakspeare” It will also miss notes that refer only to specific plays, such as Hamlet or Julius Ceasar without repeating the name of Shakespeare. This particular index is some superficial, but may still be useful.
