[COMPLETE] The complete poetical works, by Edgar Allan Poe - tg

[merendo07]

Question: there is a footnote in section 78 (right in the title) - should I read that, too?

[Foon]

sect 79
PL note: at the end it should read
"End of poem. This recording is in the public domain."

For a drama part, this wouldn't be necessary, no?

RE: the 30 footnotes in the poem — some from Poe, some references to other authors — Should I read these as a list at the end of the poem?
Thanks!

Hi - I'd like to claim Section 43 "Al Aaraaf" - thank you!

You got it.

Whatever you prefer, though I think the poem will sound better if you'll read them at the end.

Yes.

If you are just recording a part of it it shouldn't. I'll change it to PL OK.
Thank you Helen for PLing.

TY, I thought there was something up with the lack of endings.

Sect 94 (is a scene)
PL OK

Hi bdanzige,

Is there a reason why:

sects 71, 72, & 75

don't have the "End of.... " closing?

My knowledge as a PLer is growing.

TY

sect 75
PL note: at the end it should read
"End of poem. This recording is in the public domain."

My apologies for that. Please find corrected version uploaded here:

I'll do the Lelage lines in Politian.

Looking through the text and sections, I find it strange to have the notes of various works in a separate section. I would think the notes for a work would go with the work itself. If it were my project, I'd either ditch the notes altogether or have the reader for each work read the note for that work. It may be too late now, though. I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier and make the suggestion then.

Another thought: you may end up with a lot of orphans - people claiming, but not following through. This is the type of project to get those. I would suggest keeping track of claim dates, so that you can easily see when a section is ripe for orphaning. Most BCs that do this will put the claim date in the Notes field for each section.

Hi,
I'd like to claim #77 - Essay - The Philosophy of Composition.

Hi Tricia,
Thanks for claiming and for the advise.
As for the notes - I considered putting them on with the sections but they are pretty long and I thought that people might not want to have them included in the section when they need to skip them every time but the notes are quite interesting if you have the mood for it so I thought that putting them together would be a good idea. If you think it wouldn't work I'll take you're much more experienced advise

I think it's past changing at this point, my advice would be to carry on the way it is now.
