One of the objectives of 452ºF is to deliver, together with the monographic section of the Journal, a bibliographical selection corresponding to the theme of each issue. In this case, however, it will be widely accepted that there is an enormous number of texts dealing with the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Therefore, the task of gathering and classifying these texts exceeds the capabilities of our Journal. We believe this task should be carried out by a group of specialists in his works, or by a study group, full- time dedicated to the task, and with material means that our Journal lacks of.

In fact, there is a group of these characteristics, the Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore. On its website (http://www.eapoe.org/) we can find, among other services, thematic bibliographies on different aspects of the Bostonian writer’s works. Therefore, when dealing with the process of elaborating the aforementioned bibliography, we decided that we could not do without the work of our colleagues, bearing in mind that one of the purposes of our Journal is to encourage the collaboration among scholars of different backgrounds and origins, taking advantage of the new media of communication.

Finally, we decided to limit the ambitions of our bibliography in favour of thoroughness. We have chosen to mention those fundamental references on the main three themes that compose our monographic section: Poe and science fiction, Poe’s relation to science, and Humour in Poe’s works. However, for the first and third of these themes, there are bibliographies already available on the Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore’s website. For this reason, we decided to take their work as start point and complement it with those papers that either have not been detected by them, or that still have not been updated.

So we take this opportunity to congratulate the Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore for their work, and hope that at least our small bibliographical contribution will help the colossal task of gathering, classifying and systematizing the critical production on Edgar Allan Poe.
