There are many writers, both popular and literary, I can imagine calling by their first names -- if only in my dreams. But I could never address Edgar Allan Poe as anything less than "Mr. Poe, sir." After all, he wrote that famous tag, "Quoth the raven" -- and I'd hate to have him thunder, "Nevermore!" That would be a nightmare. Formidable as Poe's body of work is, his hold on life was fragile. During his short and often miserable span (1809-1849), he wrote poetry both delicate and fantastic, prose both sturdy and imaginative. He moved among genres and styles with ease, from creative and lyrical work to editorial and critical stints. He's known today by a double handful of works. While they're part of popular consciousness, they're just the top of the treasure trove.

Other family advantages included her brother-in-law's publishing contacts; her brothers' college education (at a time when "only one-tenth of 1 per cent" of Americans attended college [Pessen 87] ); their successful New York law professions, comfortable incomes, and advantageous marriages.4 Further, the Sedgwick men's extensive networks linked the family with other participants in Democratic politics and with such literary associations as the Belles Lettres and the Bread and Cheese Clubs.5 Such social and political capital could not position Catharine Sedgwick in what she ironically called "good society" (Sedgwick, "Journal" 134), where those with the most money held reputations as "the city's chief intellectual as well as social adornment" (Pessen 233).6 Yet it sufficed to secure her a...

Susan Harloe's mother used to read stories to her little girl. Now, using theater as a vehicle, Harloe does something very similar for thousands of people every year. Harloe is co-founder and co- artistic director of the San Francisco-based Word for Word. The company, which brings literary pieces to theatrical life, presents Stories by Tobias Wolff at 8 p.m. today, Feb. 25, at the Lensic Performing Arts Center. The Wolff tales in question are the short stories In the Garden of the North American Martyrs and Bullet in the Brain. Speaking by phone from San Francisco, Harloe said her mother, a writer, awakened her interest in the power of the written word. In 1993 Harloe and actress/director JoAnne Winter started Word for Word out of a theater-development center called Z Space Studio in Sa...
