To 'e' or to 'a'

Library Journal (Facebook page) noted:
"Today's is Edgar Allen Poe's 202nd birthday, and the 2011 Edgar Award nominees have been announced. Some great picks here: Tom Franklin's Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter; Tana French's Faithful Place; Paul Doiron's The Poacher's Son; Bruce DeSilva's Rogue Island."

Literary Awards are noted in NoveList . See yesterday's post for hints on finding the awards lists.

If you'd like to know more about Edgar Allan Poe, LION, Literature Online has a wealth of information from biographical to critical reviews to full text of his work!

It's interesting to note that the Library Journal poster spells his middle name with an 'e' while LION spells Edgar's middle name with an 'a'. The Washington Post blogger uses All'e'n. A Google search turned up more All'a'n then All'e'n references.

When you don't find what you expect in a search, check the spelling!
