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

[adrianstephens]

I'm thinking about offering to read Politian. That caused me to listen to several recordings, because I wondered how to pronounce this name.
I hear different speakers using "Po-LI-ti-an", "Po-LI-si-an", "Po-LI-shi-an" and even "Po-li-TI-shun".
As he is the Earl of Essex, Bristish English rules would normally apply, but as this is not an English name, I guess all bets are off.

Can anybody say authoritatively what it should be?

I see the following site gives: "Poh-LISH-un" https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/politian, which is the same as yours except the "n" is pronounced.

It was an h by accident, so you're right.

Regardless of how it's pronounced :0), I volunteer to do the Politian character, which is files 87, 92 and 95.

When I looked it up, I found it pronounced Po-LI-shin: https://www.howtopronounce.com/politian/

Since I didn't find it pronounced any other way online, I went with that.

Just wondering if there is any help needed for the "acts"? I'd be glad to help out for those, whatever it is

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/politian this is what I found. I don't think the difference is that critical.

You can look at the lower sections and see what roles are missing. We need recorders

Will do. If you need any help editing the final thing, I can help with that too. Not a lot of people enjoy doing it... I kind of do.
