Abstract

The article focuses on the special feature "The Poe/tics of Reception," which reflects on Eliza Richards's influential work, *Gender and the Poetics of Reception* (2004), and explores new interpretations of Edgar Allan Poe's relationships and themes. Contributors analyze the impact of women like Sarah Josepha Hale and Lydia Sigourney on Poe's career, examine queer representations in "The Oval Portrait," and discuss themes of race and liberation in "The Gold-Bug." The volume also includes an essay on the daguerreotype's influence on Poe's work and a poem imagining Lenore's perspective. Future plans for a special feature on Poe and streaming television adaptations are also mentioned. [Extracted from the article]
