About Allan Poe 關(guān)于愛倫·坡
Edgar Allan Poe was an American author, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective-fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.He was born as Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts; he was orphaned young when his mother died shortly after his father abandoned the family. Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan, of Richmond, Virginia, but they never formally adopted him. He attended the University of Virginia for one semester but left due to lack of money. After enlisting in the Army and later failing as an officer's cadet at West Point, Poe parted ways with the Allans. His publishing career began humbly, with an anonymous collection of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian".
Poe switched his focus to prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals, becoming known for his own style of literary criticism. His work forced him to move between several cities, including Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. In Baltimore in 1835, he married Virginia Clemm, his 13-year-old cousin. In January 1845 Poe published his poem "The Raven" to instant success. His wife died of tuberculosis two years after its publication. He began planning to produce his own journal, The Penn (later renamed The Stylus), though he died before it could be produced. On October 7, 1849, at age 40, Poe died in Baltimore; the cause of his death is unknown and has been variously attributed to alcohol, brain congestion, cholera, drugs, heart disease, rabies, suicide, tuberculosis, and other agents.
Poe and his works influenced literature in the United States and around the world, as well as in specialized fields, such as cosmology and cryptography. Poe and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films, and television. A number of his homes are dedicated museums today.
在他短短一生寫下的不少作品中，文學(xué)評論是很重要的一部分。當(dāng)時文壇上，除了詹姆斯·羅塞爾·洛威爾之外，幾乎無人可與抗衡。洛威爾一向不輕易贊揚別人，卻把坡譽為"最有見識、最富哲理的大無畏評論家"。當(dāng)代文學(xué)評論家埃德蒙·威爾遜也稱"坡的文學(xué)評論確實是美國文壇上空前的杰作"。他一向主張"為藝術(shù)而藝術(shù)"。他的藝術(shù)主張幾乎貫穿于他的所有作品中，包括詩歌、短篇小說和論文。在這些作品中，他聲稱"一切藝術(shù)的目的是娛樂，不是真理。"他認(rèn)為"在詩歌中只有創(chuàng)造美--超凡絕塵的美才是引起樂趣的正當(dāng)途徑。音樂是詩歌不可缺少的成分，對詩人力求表現(xiàn)超凡絕塵的美尤其重要。而在故事寫作方面，藝術(shù)家就不妨力圖制造驚險、恐怖和強烈情感的效果。而且每篇作品都應(yīng)該收到一種效果。"他一生寫了六七十篇短篇小說，雖然只寫了四五篇推理小說，但是舉世公認(rèn)為推理小說的鼻祖。
