摘要
爱伦·坡是侦探小说的鼻祖,但是他所创作的推理小说并非无本之木,我们可以在西方经典文学中找到其渊源;其推理作品影响之大亦绝非出于偶然,对人性的思考和道德的诉求是其推理小说得以经典化的重要因素,而雅俗合流的创作旨趣又是这一小说类别被广泛接受并产生深远影响的主要原因。
Edgar Allan Poe is the universally acknowledged Father of Detective Stories. However, his ratiocinative tales are not a castle in the air, for we can trace their sources in western classic literature. It is not accidental that they exert such great influences. Poe's probing into human nature and resorting to ethics promote the classification of this genre, and his creating concept of “combining the popular with the serious” is a crucial reason for its wide acceptance and far-reaching influence.
