试论爱伦·坡文学创作中的死亡之美

The Beauty Of Death In Edgar Ellon Poe's Works

埃德加·爱伦·坡(Edgar Allan Poe)主张“美女之死无疑是世界上最富有诗意的论题”,在他的作品中大量的死亡的描写体现了坡在失意人生中对美的渴望与追求。本文拟通过坡短暂坎坷的生活经历、艰难曲折的写作生涯及其文学理论作品的探讨,以求揭开作家一生的死亡情结。

Allon Poe once proposed: 'Obviously, the death of beauties is the most poetic theme in the world'. Poe's large amount of description about death exposed he hungered for beauty. This essay is intended to discuss Poe's short and rough living experience, hard and tortuous writing career, his literary theoretical works, finally, his lifelong partiality for death.
