J ames M. Hutchisson’s introduction presents this recent collection of essays as “an argument for a new topical school of Poe criticism” to replace the traditional emphasis on supernaturalism in Poe’s fiction [x]. By “topical school,” Hutchisson seems to mean simply scholarship that addresses the sociohistorical context of Poe’s writings. While few critics would object to this type of scholarship, it is too loose a categorization to underpin a methodological argument. Setting aside the methodological claim, even the two broad themes—environment and otherness—that Hutchisson cites as principles of organization omit several of the essays, which therefore seem mere addenda. Beyond Gothicism offers twelve essays on assorted Poe-related topics, but it unfortunately does not provide the “systematic approach” to Poe and nineteenth-century culture promised in the introduction [x]. Despite the volume’s haphazard structure, its emphasis on Poe’s neglected writings is refreshing. For example, rather than locating Poe on the familiar North/South axis, Hutchisson’s chapter, “Storytelling, Narrative Authority, and Death in ‘The Thousand and Second Tale of Scheherazade,’” moves longitudinally. Hutchisson argues that, for Poe, Middle Eastern culture represents a generative force that can resist textual closure. Conversely, Amy C. Branam re-domesticates the international conflict in Poe’s verse drama, Politian. Branam contends that Poe displaces the friction between the northern United States’ condescension toward the South and the South’s defense of its paternalistic culture onto Politian’s contrast between sixteenth-century England and Italy. Other scholars take up such understudied tales as “King Pest” and “Why the Little Frenchman Wears His Hand in a Sling.” Benjamin F. Fisher presents evidence that Poe considered concluding “Tales of the Folio Club” with “King Pest.” Kevin J. Hayes explores the theme of urban spectatorship in “Frenchman,” highlighting the parallels between visual culture and narrative form. Two particularly interesting essays approach Poe’s well-known tales of ratiocination from unusual angles. John F.

james M. Hutchisson在前言中将这本近期出版的文集描述为“坡的新主题批评流派的论证”,以取代坡小说中对超自然主义的传统强调[x]。哈奇森所说的“主题学派”似乎只是指研究坡作品的社会历史背景的学术研究。虽然很少有批评家会反对这种类型的学术研究,但这种分类过于松散,无法支撑方法论上的论证。撇开方法论的主张不谈,即使是Hutchisson引用的作为组织原则的两大主题——环境和他者——也省略了几篇文章,因此这些文章似乎只是附录。《超越哥特主义》提供了12篇关于各种各样与坡有关的主题的文章,但不幸的是,它并没有像前言中所承诺的那样,为坡和19世纪的文化提供“系统的方法”。尽管这本书的结构杂乱无章,但它对坡被忽视的作品的强调令人耳目一新。例如,哈奇森的章节“《山鲁佐德的一千零第二个故事》中的叙事、叙事权威和死亡”并没有将爱伦·坡定位在人们熟悉的南北轴线上,而是纵向展开。哈奇森认为,对爱伦·坡来说,中东文化代表着一种能够抵抗文本封闭的生成力量。相反,艾米·c·布拉纳姆在坡的诗剧《政治家》中重新诠释了国际冲突。布拉纳姆认为,坡将美国北部对南方的屈尊俯就和南方对其家长式文化的捍卫之间的摩擦,转移到了波利提安对16世纪英国和意大利的对比上。其他学者则研究了一些未被充分研究的故事,如《佩斯王》和《为什么小法国人的手挂在吊索里》。本杰明·费雪提出证据,证明坡曾考虑用《佩斯王》来结束《对开俱乐部的故事》。凯文·j·海斯在《法国人》中探讨了城市观众的主题,强调了视觉文化和叙事形式之间的相似之处。两篇特别有趣的文章从不同寻常的角度探讨了坡著名的推理故事。约翰·f·杰布(John F. Jebb)将《金甲虫》与19世纪基德船长传奇的其他改编作比较,断言

In “From Room to Room: A Note on the Ending of ‘The Pit and the Pendulum”’ [Poe Studies/Darlc Romanticism 31 (1998): 35-36], Steven Carter argues that the translation “the room” or “the chamber” for the name Lasalle, the general who rescues the narrator/victim of the Inquisition in Poe’s tale, “tips the delicate balance [between ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ readings] in favor of a ‘negative’ reading” (35). However, at least two previous commentators whom Carter has apparently overlooked make use of the same word play in support of “positive” interpretations. The interested reader is referred to Joseph J. Moldenhauer, “Murder as a Fine Art: Basic Connections between Poe’s Aesthetics, Psychology, and Moral Vision” [PMLA 83 (May 1968): 2961, and my own The Rationale of Deception in Poe [(Baton Rouge: Louisiana State Univ.

在《从一个房间到另一个房间:关于“坑和钟摆”的结局的注释》[坡研究/达尔克浪漫主义31(1998):35-36]中,史蒂文·卡特认为,在坡的故事中,拯救了宗教裁判所的叙述者/受害者的将军拉萨尔的名字的翻译“房间”或“房间”,“在‘积极’和‘消极’阅读之间的微妙平衡]有利于‘消极’阅读”(35)。然而,至少有两位被卡特明显忽视的前评论员使用了同样的文字游戏来支持“积极”的解释。感兴趣的读者可以参考Joseph J. Moldenhauer的《作为一门艺术的谋杀:坡的美学、心理学和道德视觉之间的基本联系》[PMLA 83(1968年5月):2961,以及我自己的《坡的欺骗原理》[巴吞鲁日:路易斯安那州立大学出版社,1979年),2041。

There is a specter haunting contemporary literary studies-the specter of a surplus of interpretation. In the May 2000 issue of PMLA, Lindsay Waters, editor at Harvard University Press, argues that, despite the steady decrease of sales and despite the fact that normally “publishers resist producing books that people are unwilling to purchase or to insist that their institutional libraries purchase,” the overproduction of books has persisted for many years now because the political economy of academic publishing knows pressures more profound than the bottom line:

cussion of information in the antebellum economy has some interesting nuances and qualification, but in the final analysis he subsumes it beneath his concept of production: “Although Poe called it ‘thinking material,’ I have used the simpler name of information to designate the kind of written or otherwise objectified knowledge that re-enters the process of production and thereby valorizes capital” [271]. But there is, of course, another notion of information, as an “explanatory quantity . . . of zero dimensions” [Gregory Bateson, “Cybernetic Explanation,” in Steps to an Ecology of Mind (New York: Ballantine Books, 1972): 4031. Such an understanding is hardly a refutation or denial of the ways in which information as knowledge can be produced, stored, accumulated, and capitalized; but it does suggest that there are different dynamisms at work as well, ones in which information is not transmitted, but rather emergent from processes of relationality and selection: This economics differs from an economics of energy or money . . . being a ratio [it] is not subject to addition or subtraction but only to multiplicative processes, such as fractionation” [Bateson, 4031. If we decide that the knowledge economy and the information economy can neither be separated nor conflated, we find ourselves in an environment of dismaying complexity and hypersaturated meaning, in which, pace Whalen, there are neither first nor last instances and thus very little chance of securely distinguishing a new contribution to knowledge from “yet another text for interpretation” [196],
