Abstract Many scholars have read Edgar Allan Poe as uniquely enmeshed in an interdisciplinary and intermediary web connecting the visual and practical arts. Poe’s prose is intrinsically multimodal and multisensory, a transgression of disciplinary boundaries that leads to a horrific affect. This article examines three of Poe’s short stories with attention to the figure of the artist, architect, and author within his fiction, arguing that these characters can be read as exemplars of Poe’s aesthetic philosophy laid out in “The Philosophy of Composition.” Poe pushes and explores the limits of disciplinary boundaries by showing the various conjunctions and conflations inherent to artistic practice. In his stories, Poe explores what distinguishes literature from other creative endeavors. It is his fascination with the porous nature of artistic boundaries that drives both the form and content of his tales—and it is this very liminality, this porousness, that makes them truly the harbingers of horror as a genre.

Abstract In 1844, Poe likely encountered the American Journal of Insanity through his associate, Dr. Pliny Earle, director of the Bloomingdale Asylum for the Insane. A careful look at the evidence suggests that the journal may have influenced Poe’s only fictional description of an asylum in “The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether.”

Abstract This article examines Edgar Allan Poe’s engagements with nineteenth-century thermodynamic theory via his broader literary explorations of a principle of cosmic deterioration. Focusing especially on the untimely apparitions of entropy and universal heat death in “The Fall of the House of Usher” (1839) and “Mask of the Red Death” (1842), it argues that these apparitions derive from Poe’s creative responses to two primary sources. The first is Epicurean atomism, the most important exposition of which Poe found in Lucretius’s De rerum natura, as mediated by the agonistic interpretations of English natural philosophers Erasmus Darwin (1731–1802) and John Mason Good (1764–1827). The second is the energetic conception historian of science Stephen Brush calls “the wave theory of heat,” which Poe absorbed from contemporary experimental natural philosophers and popularizers of science, including Dionysius Lardner (1793–1859) and John W. Draper (1811–1882). These sources enabled Poe to conceptualize the universe as a system in which irreversible change occurs due to inevitable loss in the transmission or transformation of energy. Poe gave proleptic, poetic expression to this concept in his writings, leading to their haunting echoes in later formulations of, and responses to, entropy and universal heat death.
本文考察了埃德加·爱伦·坡对19世纪热力学理论的参与，通过他对宇宙退化原理的更广泛的文学探索。文章特别关注了《厄谢尔家的倒塌》(1839)和《红死病的面具》(1842)中熵和普遍热死的不合适时的出现，认为这些出现源于坡对两个主要来源的创造性反应。第一种是伊壁鸠鲁原子论，坡在卢克莱修的《自然之物》(De rerum natura)中找到了对伊壁鸠鲁原子论最重要的阐述，英国自然哲学家伊拉斯谟·达尔文(Erasmus Darwin, 1731-1802)和约翰·梅森·古德(John Mason Good, 1764-1827)对其进行了激烈的解释。第二个是充满活力的概念，科学历史学家斯蒂芬·布拉什称之为“热的波动理论”，爱伦·坡从同时代的实验自然哲学家和科学普及者那里吸收了这个概念，包括狄奥尼修斯·拉德纳(Dionysius Lardner, 1793-1859)和约翰·w·德雷珀(John W. Draper, 1811-1882)。这些来源使爱伦·坡将宇宙概念化为一个系统，在这个系统中，由于能量的传输或转化中不可避免的损失而发生不可逆转的变化。坡在他的作品中对这一概念进行了预言性的、诗意的表达，这些概念在后来对熵和普遍热死的表述和回应中得到了令人难忘的回响。
