埃德加·爱伦·坡(EdgarAllanPoe)(1809~1849)，19世纪美国诗人、小说家和文学评论家，美国浪漫主义思潮时期的重要成员。
埃德加·爱伦·坡1809年1月19日生于马萨诸塞州的波士顿，他年幼时父母双亡，随即被弗吉尼亚州里士满的约翰和弗朗西丝斯·爱伦夫妇收养，在弗吉尼亚大学就读了短暂的一段时间后辍学，之后从军，爱伦·坡离开了爱伦夫妇。爱伦坡低调地开始了他的写作生涯，匿名出版了诗集《帖木尔和其它的诗》。
1835年他在巴尔的摩和13岁的表妹弗吉尼亚·克莱姆结婚。1838年《阿瑟·戈登·皮姆的故事》出版并被受到了广泛的关注。1839年夏天，爱伦·坡成为《伯顿绅士杂志》(Burton'sGentleman'sMagazine)的助理编辑。
这期间他发表了的随笔、小说，和评论，加强了他在《南方文学信使》工作时期开始确立的敏锐批评家的声誉，同期，《怪异故事集》上下卷在1839年出版。1845年1月，爱伦·坡发表诗歌"乌鸦"，一时声誉鹊起。1849年10月7日逝于巴尔的摩。
《黑猫》是爱伦坡的恐怖小说名作之一。它讲述一个人杀了一只黑猫，後来另一只黑猫以奇特的方式复仇的故事。全文一字不及幽灵鬼怪，但在描述人们内心邪恶的念头时，却令人不寒而栗。
爱伦·坡有一篇侦探小说《黑猫》，写的是一个人由于酗酒从善良变得暴躁，将他原本珍爱的黑猫普路托剜去了眼睛，黑猫从此对他敬而远之，在这里爱伦·坡有一段话是这样的：“我毕竟天良未泯，因此最初看见过去如此热爱我的畜生竟这样嫌恶我，不免感到伤心。但是这股伤心之感一下子就变为恼怒了。到后来，那股邪念又上升了，终于害得我一发不可收拾。关于这种邪念，哲学上并没有重视。不过我深信不疑，这种邪念是人心本能的一股冲动，是一种微乎其微的原始功能，或者说是情绪，人类性格就由它来决定。谁没有在无意中多次干下坏事或蠢事呢？而且这样干时无缘无故，心里明知干不得而偏要干。哪怕我们明知这样干犯法，我们不是还会无视自己看到的后果，有股拼命想去以身试法的邪念吗？”然后，此人将黑猫吊死在树枝上，当晚，这人家里起火，烧得家财散尽，只有一面白墙壁不倒，上面有一层浅浮雕，赫然是一只猫，脖子上还挂着绳索。他虽然用科学向自己解释了一通，但还是心存害怕，后来又从酒吧带回了一只与普路托相似的猫，这猫被带回家的第二天就不知被谁剜掉了一只眼睛，这使得他对这猫又深恶痛绝又害怕。一天他失手杀死了自己的妻子，然后想出了一个绝妙的隐藏尸体的方法——把尸体砌进墙壁。之后他发现黑猫竟同时不见了，心里充满了恐惧，在警察搜查他的家时，墙壁里发出了猫叫，原来他在慌乱中将猫与尸体一起砌进了墙壁。之所以如此详细地讲述情节是因为这篇小说写出了一连贯的潜意识，由于酗酒而暴躁，由暴躁而愧疚，由愧疚而恼怒，由恼怒而恶向胆边生，而后又由于愧疚而恐惧，由于恐惧而又暴躁，总之心理描写层层推进，丝丝入扣。

爱伦全家于1820年7月回到里士满，埃德加在当地私立学校继续学业。表现出学习拉丁文以及对戏剧表演和游泳的天赋。写双行体讽刺诗。诗稿除《哦，时代！哦，风尚！》一首外均已遗失。倾慕一位同学的母亲简·斯坦纳德，后来把她描写为“我心灵第一个纯理想的爱”，并把她作为1831年发表的《致海伦》一诗的灵感来源。爱伦的商行在连续两年经济不景气后于1824年倒闭，但1825年他叔叔之死又使他成了一名富人，他在市中心买下了一幢房子。埃德加不顾双方家庭的强烈反对与爱弥拉·罗伊斯特私定终身。1826进入（一年前由托马斯·杰斐逊创办的）弗吉尼亚大学，古典，语言及现代语言成绩出众。发现爱伦提供的生活费不够开销，常参加赌博并输掉2000美元。爱伦拒绝为他支付赌债，坡回到里士满，发现罗伊斯特夫妇已成功地废除了他与爱弥拉的婚约。1827抱怨爱伦无情，不顾弗朗西丝·爱伦的一再劝慰于三月离家出走。化名“亨利·勒伦内”乘船去波士顿。五月应募参加美国陆军，报称姓名“埃德加·A·佩里”，年龄22岁，职业“职员”，被分派到波士顿港独立要塞的一个海岸炮兵团。说服一名年轻的印刷商出版了他的第一本书《帖木儿及其它诗》，作者署名为“波士顿人”，这本薄薄的诗集没引起人们注意。11月坡所在部队移防到南卡罗来纳州的莫尔特雷要塞。1828—29在一连串提升之后，坡获得了士兵中的最高军衔军士长。怀着当职业军人的打算谋求约翰·爱伦帮助谋求进入西点军校的机会。爱伦夫人于1829年2月28日去世，坡从军队荣誉退伍，居住在巴尔的摩几位父系亲戚家。在等候西点军校答复期间写信求爱伦出钱资助第二本诗集的出版，信中说“我早已不再把拜伦当作楷模。”爱伦拒绝资助，但《阿尔阿拉夫、帖木儿及小诗》仍于1829年12月由巴尔的摩的哈奇及邓宁出版社出版，这次坡署上了他自己的姓名。包括修改后的《帖木儿》和六首新作的该书样本得到著名评论家约翰·尼尔的认可，他为此书写了一篇虽短但却不乏溢美之词的评论。1830—311830年5月入西点军校；语言学识过人，因写讽刺军官们的滑稽诗而在学员中深得人心。约翰·爱伦于1830年10月再次结婚，婚后不久读到坡以“A先生并非经常清醒”开篇的来信，因此立即与坡断绝了关系。坡故意“抗命”(缺课，不上教堂，不参加点名)以求离开军校，1831年1月受军事法庭审判并被开除。2月到纽约。用军校同学捐赠的钱与一出版商签约出版《诗集》第二版。该书被题献给“合众国士官生”，内容包括《致海伦》、《以色拉费》、以及他第一次发表的评论性文章，即作为序的《致XX先生的信》。在巴尔的摩与姨妈玛丽亚，克蒂姆和她八岁的女儿弗吉尼亚同住；住姨妈家的还有坡的哥哥威廉·亨利，他于8月病逝，此外还有坡的祖母伊丽莎白·凯恩斯·坡，她因亡夫在独立战争中的贡献而领取的一点抚恤金弥补了这个家庭收入之不足。送交五个短篇小说参加费城《星期六信使报》主办的征文比赛；小说无一中奖，但全部被《信使报》于次年发表。1832—33住姨妈家，教表妹弗吉尼亚念书。写出六个短篇小说，希望加上《信使报》发表的5篇以《对开本俱乐部的故事》为书名结集出版。1833年夏天送交这六篇小说参加由巴尔的摩《星期六游客报》举办的征文比赛。《瓶中手稿》赢得五十美元的头奖，同时《罗马大圆形竞技场》在诗歌比赛中名列第二。两篇获奖作品均于1833年10月由《游客报》刊登。

"The Black Cat" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in the August 19, 1843, edition of The Saturday Evening Post. It is a study of the psychology of guilt, often paired in analysis with Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart".[1] In both, a murderer carefully conceals his crime and believes himself unassailable, but eventually breaks down and reveals himself, impelled by a nagging reminder of his guilt. The story is presented as a first-person narrative using an unreliable narrator. The narrator tells us that from an early age he has loved animals. He and his wife have many pets, including a large black cat named Pluto. This cat is especially fond of the narrator and vice versa. Their mutual friendship lasts for several years, until the narrator becomes an alcoholic. One night, after coming home intoxicated, he believes the cat is avoiding him. When he tries to seize it, the panicked cat bites the narrator, and in a fit of rage, he seizes the animal, pulls a pen-knife from his pocket, and deliberately gouges out the cat's eye.From that moment onward, the cat flees in terror at his master's approach. At first, the narrator is remorseful and regrets his cruelty. "But this feeling soon gave place to irritation. And then came, as if to my final and irrevocable overthrow, the spirit of PERVERSENESS." He takes the cat out in the garden one morning and hangs it from a tree, where it dies. That very night, his house mysteriously catches on fire forcing the narrator, his wife and their servant to flee.The next day, the narrator returns to the ruins of his home to find, imprinted on the single wall that survived the fire, the figure of a gigantic cat, hanging by its neck from a rope.At first, this image terrifies the narrator, but gradually he determines a logical explanation for it, that someone outside had thrown the dead cat into the bedroom to wake him up during the fire, and begins to miss Pluto. Some time later, he finds a similar cat in a tavern. It is the same size and color as the original and is even missing an eye. The only difference is a large white patch on the animal's chest. The narrator takes it home, but soon begins to loathe, even fear the creature. After a time, the white patch of fur begins to take shape and, to the narrator, forms the shape of the gallows.Then, one day when the narrator and his wife are visiting the cellar in their new home, the cat gets under its master's feet and nearly trips him down the stairs. In a fury, the man grabs an axe and tries to kill the cat but is stopped by his wife. Enraged, he kills her with the axe instead. To conceal her body he removes bricks from a protrusion in the wall, places her body there, and repairs the hole. When the police came to investigate, they find nothing and the narrator goes free. The cat, which he intended to kill as well, has gone missing.On the last day of the investigation, the narrator accompanies the police into the cellar. There, completely confident in his own safety, the narrator comments on the sturdiness of the building and raps upon the wall he had built around his wife's body. A wailing sound fills the room. The alarmed police tear down the wall and find the wife's corpse, and on her head, to the horror of the narrator, is the screeching black cat. As he words it: "I had walled the monster up within the tomb!" Like the narrator in Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart", the narrator of "The Black Cat" has questionable sanity. Near the beginning of the tale, the narrator says he would be "mad indeed" if he should expect a reader to believe the story, implying that he has already been accused of madness.[2]One of Poe's darkest tales, "The Black Cat" includes his strongest denouncement of alcohol. The narrator's perverse actions are brought on by his alcoholism, a "disease" and "fiend" which also destroys his personality.[3] The use of the black cat evokes various superstitions, including the idea voiced by the narrator's wife that they are all witches in disguise. The titular cat is named Pluto after the Roman god of the Underworld. Publication history"The Black Cat" was first published in the August 19, 1843 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. At the time, the publication was using the temporary title United States Saturday Post.[4] Readers immediately responded favorably to the story, spawning parodies including Thomas Dunn English's "The Ghost of the Grey Tadpole".[5][edit] Adaptations [edit] In film "The Black Cat" was adapted into a film starring Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff in 1934 and another with Lugosi and Basil Rathbone in 1941, although neither version bears much resemblance to the original story.[5] Many other adaptations exist but the most faithful to the original is the middle segment of Roger Corman's trilogy film Tales of Terror in 1962.[5] Although the overall film was cast with Vincent Price as the lead, in this segment, he was in a supporting role with Peter Lorre as the main character. The 1934 film Maniac also loosely adapts the story. This version follows a former vaudeville actor who kills a doctor and takes the doctor's place to hide his crime. "The Black Cat" was also adapted into a film of the same name by Italian horror director Lucio Fulci in 1981. Film director Dario Argento presented his own loose adaptation of the story in the 1990 anthology film Two Evil Eyes.[edit] In television "The Black Cat" is the eleventh episode of the second season of Masters of Horror. The plot essentially retells the short story in a semi-autobiographical manner, with Poe himself undergoing a series of events involving a black cat which he used to inspire the story of the same name.[edit] Recordings In 1997, a compilation of Poe's work was released on a double CD entitled Closed on Account of Rabies, with various celebrities lending their voices to the tales. The Black Cat was read by avant-garde performer Diamanda Galás.[edit] References in literary works In 1970, Czech writer Ludvík Vaculík made many references to "A Descent into the Maelstr�0�2m" as well as "The Black Cat" in his novel The Guinea Pigs.[edit] References in art In 1910-11 Futurist artist Gino Severini painted "The Black Cat" in direct reference to Poe's short story.

我们从《创作的哲学》谈起。此篇是坡最重要的文论，它基本详细地说明了“效果论”。在此文中，坡称自己“一开始就考虑一种效果。”然后思考“我应该选择哪一种效果呢？”既而先定效果，同时也就是定下一个故事。然后开始搜索符合这样效果的“情节和情调”。他提出，不少作家都羞于说出自己是“精心修饰”文章的人，而宁愿说自己的作品出于一种灵感——一种情感。但坡不这么认为，他说追述自己如何构思作品也是一个相当有趣的过程。然后坡开始追述《乌鸦》一诗如何诞生的。（我们敢说这部分内容有些是虚构的，但它也能体现坡的写作思想。）一、诗的长度不能太长，（小说亦同）否则读者会因事务干扰完整的阅读。二、诗的基调——当然还是美。三、如何之美？悲剧之美。四、效果和基调都有了，现在开始考虑诗的声音层面。（坡的歌诗基本都是有音韵的，有高度的音乐性。）选定一个叠歌的效果。五、选择叠句用什么韵。为了有感染力，坡选择用O+R。和基调相和的，坡“绝对不可能漏掉‘Nevermore’”一词。六、怎么才能把这个词反复用出来呢？——人来念？不合理。那就动物吧？什么动物呢？鹦鹉？——哦一只乌鸦（RAVEN，有一种乌鸦会学舌）。[并且怎么说呢？乌鸦本身就就是一去不复返的意思，见于圣经·创世记。硝注]也和诗的基调很一致。七、在所有主题中，有没有非常之悲郁的主题？——死亡。谁的死亡又和美相联系呢？当然是美女之死。这样非常有诗意。于是整个诗主角被定为：“一个痛失佳人的多情男子。”八、分析随着“Nevermore”的反复使用，主角产生的反应。开始不太惊讶，然后惊醒，然后恐怖，然后开始自我折磨。九、写下其中一段，最关键的一段。同时决定句子韵律。十、选择情节发生的场景。最后选择为封闭的空间内。然后是一些情节细节分析。开始使用第八条完成情节。最后坡对全诗情节作了一个无上理性的分析——和我读到的感受根本是两回事：一位青年学者在家怀念他刚死去的妻子，乌鸦拍打他的窗户，以为是有客来的主角开了窗，乌鸦飞入。青年觉得“有趣”于是问着乌鸦的姓名，没想到学过舌的乌鸦以一句“永不复焉”回答，然后他吃惊地自语，乌鸦重复以“永不复焉”作答，诗人在恐惧之余，开始“明知故问”，进一步陷入悲伤的自我折磨境地。然后“读者将把乌鸦看作一个象征”——“没有止境的伤逝。”
爱伦全家于1820年7月回到里士满，埃德加在当地私立学校继续学业。表现出学习拉丁文以及对戏剧表演和游泳的天赋。写双行体讽刺诗。诗稿除《哦，时代！哦，风尚！》一首外均已遗失。倾慕一位同学的母亲简·斯坦纳德，后来把她描写为“我心灵第一个纯理想的爱”，并把她作为1831年发表的《致海伦》一诗的灵感来源。爱伦的商行在连续两年经济不景气后于1824年倒闭，但1825年他叔叔之死又使他成了一名富人，他在市中心买下了一幢房子。埃德加不顾双方家庭的强烈反对与爱弥拉·罗伊斯特私定终身。1826进入（一年前由托马斯·杰斐逊创办的）弗吉尼亚大学，古典，语言及现代语言成绩出众。发现爱伦提供的生活费不够开销，常参加赌博并输掉2000美元。爱伦拒绝为他支付赌债，坡回到里士满，发现罗伊斯特夫妇已成功地废除了他与爱弥拉的婚约。1827抱怨爱伦无情，不顾弗朗西丝·爱伦的一再劝慰于三月离家出走。化名“亨利·勒伦内”乘船去波士顿。五月应募参加美国陆军，报称姓名“埃德加·A·佩里”，年龄22岁，职业“职员”，被分派到波士顿港独立要塞的一个海岸炮兵团。说服一名年轻的印刷商出版了他的第一本书《帖木儿及其它诗》，作者署名为“波士顿人”，这本薄薄的诗集没引起人们注意。11月坡所在部队移防到南卡罗来纳州的莫尔特雷要塞。1828—29在一连串提升之后，坡获得了士兵中的最高军衔军士长。怀着当职业军人的打算谋求约翰·爱伦帮助谋求进入西点军校的机会。爱伦夫人于1829年2月28日去世，坡从军队荣誉退伍，居住在巴尔的摩几位父系亲戚家。在等候西点军校答复期间写信求爱伦出钱资助第二本诗集的出版，信中说“我早已不再把拜伦当作楷模。”爱伦拒绝资助，但《阿尔阿拉夫、帖木儿及小诗》仍于1829年12月由巴尔的摩的哈奇及邓宁出版社出版，这次坡署上了他自己的姓名。包括修改后的《帖木儿》和六首新作的该书样本得到著名评论家约翰·尼尔的认可，他为此书写了一篇虽短但却不乏溢美之词的评论。1830—311830年5月入西点军校；语言学识过人，因写讽刺军官们的滑稽诗而在学员中深得人心。约翰·爱伦于1830年10月再次结婚，婚后不久读到坡以“A先生并非经常清醒”开篇的来信，因此立即与坡断绝了关系。坡故意“抗命”(缺课，不上教堂，不参加点名)以求离开军校，1831年1月受军事法庭审判并被开除。2月到纽约。用军校同学捐赠的钱与一出版商签约出版《诗集》第二版。该书被题献给“合众国士官生”，内容包括《致海伦》、《以色拉费》、以及他第一次发表的评论性文章，即作为序的《致XX先生的信》。在巴尔的摩与姨妈玛丽亚，克蒂姆和她八岁的女儿弗吉尼亚同住；住姨妈家的还有坡的哥哥威廉·亨利，他于8月病逝，此外还有坡的祖母伊丽莎白·凯恩斯·坡，她因亡夫在独立战争中的贡献而领取的一点抚恤金弥补了这个家庭收入之不足。送交五个短篇小说参加费城《星期六信使报》主办的征文比赛；小说无一中奖，但全部被《信使报》于次年发表。1832—33住姨妈家，教表妹弗吉尼亚念书。写出六个短篇小说，希望加上《信使报》发表的5篇以《对开本俱乐部的故事》为书名结集出版。1833年夏天送交这六篇小说参加由巴尔的摩《星期六游客报》举办的征文比赛。《瓶中手稿》赢得五十美元的头奖，同时《罗马大圆形竞技场》在诗歌比赛中名列第二。两篇获奖作品均于1833年10月由《游客报》刊登。
