Jorge Luis Borges’s References to Edgar Allan Poe: An Annotated Bibliography, Section 3

ABSTRACT: Throughout his distinguished career, Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges maintained a complex, reciprocal literary relationship with Edgar Allan Poe. Borges referred to Poe in numerous articles, prologues, stories, poems, lectures, dialogues, and interviews he wrote or participated in between the early 1920s and the mid-1980s. These items range from a limited number of articles and interviews focused specifically on Poe to brief nods to Poe’s works in pieces dedicated to other authors. As part of a three-stage effort to offer future scholars a substantial guide to documents demonstrating Borges’s long-term engagement with the US author and his works, “Jorge Luis Borges’s References to Edgar Allan Poe: An Annotated Bibliography, Section 3” directs readers to the notes Borges kept in his copies of books by and about Poe that are held in his personal libraries at the Fundación Internacional Jorge Luis Borges and at the Sala del Tesoro in the Biblioteca Nacional Argentina, both in Buenos Aires.
