Arthur H. Quinn

Born in Philadelphia, he studied at the University of Pennsylvania and worked there for sixty years until his retirement in 1954.

In January 1893, he was elected to join the editorial board of the Red and Blue school journal.

[2] Quinn graduated the following year and was awarded membership of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society.

[1] As early as June 1894, Quinn was writing and performing poetry in front of groups: he recited a poem at his graduation ceremony that month and at a reunion the following February.

[1] In 1941, Quinn published the work Edgar Allan Poe: A Critical Biography with Appleton-Century Company.

[9] Similar views were offered by Hardin Craig, who wrote that "he has brought into the field of Poe biography excellent talent and sound scholarship and has devoted them to the purification of the record".

Their son James H. Quinn was principal of Episcopal Academy in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.
