Overview

Excerpt from Poet Lore, Vol. 48: World Literature and the Drama; Spring 1942 It is with sorrow that the Editors record the death on January 16, 1942, at Boston, Massachusetts, Of Charlotte E. Porter, one of the two founders, and for many years Editor, Of Poet Lore. In 1889 Miss Porter, in collaboration with Helen A. Clarke, organized Poet Lore as a monthly magazine devoted to Shakespeare and Browning. Within a very few years the magazine abandoned its original specialization, greatly broadened its field, and undertook to bring to English read ers the hitherto untranslated works of outstanding foreign authors, especially dramatists a thing never before at tempted. During the thirty-seven years of Miss Porter's editorship, Poet Lore attained and firmly held a unique, recognized, and respected position. After her retirement in 1927, subsequent Editors have tried to maintain the high standard she had established. In addition to her task Of editing Poet Lore, her studies and editing Of Shakespeare were extensive and Of a high order of excellence. She produced a two-volume edition of that poet's works in 1896; a twelve-volume pocket edition in 1898; a six-volume, Coxhoe edition, of the complete works Of Mrs. Robert Browning in 1900; 'pembroke edition Of Shakespeare, twelve volumes in 1903, followed by a thirteen volume English edition of Shakespeare; and from 1903 to 1913 she was sole editor of a forty-volume First Folio Edition.
