【摘要】 艾伦·坡与蒲松龄生活在不同的时代远隔千山万水，但两位作家在恐怖小说上都取得了令人注目的成绩。本文主要从文化角度分析二者都偏爱恐怖小说的原因。第一章主要介绍了选题的原因。作为恐怖小说哥特小说与志怪小说一直受到歧视。近几年，随着文学研究的不断深入，越来越多的人开始重视恐怖小说。最近在研究艾伦·坡和蒲松龄的过程中发现他们的恐怖小说有很多相似和不同的地方，他们作品的这些异同点可以用来进行平行研究。论文的第二部分比较了艾伦·坡和蒲松龄作品的异同。在他们的作品中，美女和死亡是两个最具代表性的主题。艾伦·坡笔下的美女恐怖多于温情，而蒲松龄笔下的美女则温情大于恐怖。此外，两位作家都写了许多与死亡相关的故事，但艾伦·坡注重死亡的恐怖本身，而蒲松龄则更注重死亡的意义。论文的第三部分集中从文学的角度分析形成两位作家作品异同的原因。艾伦·坡和蒲松龄都受到前辈作家的影响。艾伦·坡继承了欧美恐怖文学的特点，他的作品从始至终都弥漫着恐怖。蒲松龄沿袭了中国古典文学的特点，这使蒲松龄的志怪小说少了恐怖多了温情。论文第四章从宗教的角度分析了艾伦·坡和蒲松龄的作品。艾伦·坡与宗教存在着复杂的关系。他的小说中有很多关于因果报应和转世的故事。蒲松龄的宗教思想融合了佛教和道教的特点，同时他也受到儒家思想的影响。佛教的因果报应，起死回生，道教的驱魔降妖以及儒家的中庸在《聊斋志异》中都有所体现。第五章论文的结论部分，作者简要评价了两位作家对后世文学的影响与贡献。更多还原

【Abstract】 Edgar Allan Poe and Pu Songling came from different nations and lived in different times, and they both achieved notable success in horrible fiction. This thesis is to analyze the main factors to their predilection for terror stories from the cultural perspective.The first chapter introduces the reason for selecting this topic. The Gothic novels and the tales of ghosts and monsters, as horrible novels, have always been subjected to discrimination both in the East, especially in China and the West. In recent years, with the development of literary research, more and more scholars and experts pay attention to the horrible fiction. As Gothic novelists, both Edgar Allan Poe and Pu Songling lived in poverty, but their life experiences had given them inspiration to create horrible novels. Recent research on Poe and Pu has produced some similarities and differences findings about their horrible fiction. These similarities and differences in Poe’s and Pu’s works are explored by scholars and experts of comparative studies.The second chapter is comparing similarities and differences between Poe’s and Pu’s works. In their works, beauty and death are two representative themes. Many of Poe’s and Pu’s short stories show an unfailing interest in love and beauty. However, Poe’s conception of beauty is more Gothic than that of classism; while Pu’s view on beauty is more tender than that of Gothic novels. Besides love, the theme of stories of the two writers is related to death. But they have different perception of death: Poe pays attention to the intrinsic horror of death while Pu attaches importance to the meaning of death.The third chapter focuses on approaching the cause of similarities and differences in Poe’s and Pu’s short stories from the literary perspective. Both Poe and Pu are influenced by their literary predecessors’ works. Poe carries forward the Euramerican Gothic literature that gives importance to the intrinsic horror of death. Thus, in Poe’s works, horror appears from the beginning to the end. Pu read many Chinese classics that adopt the Golden Mean, which makes Pu’s works less horrible than Poe’s.The forth chapter makes a detailed analysis of Poe’s and Pu’s works from the religious perspective. Poe has a complex relationship with religion. In Poe’s works there are some stories about retributive justice and resurrecting from death. Pu’s religious ideology blends the features of Buddhism and Taoism and he is also influenced by Confucianism. The retributive justice and transmigration of Buddhism, exorcizing ghosts of Taoism and benevolent government of Confucianism, which are reflected in Strange Tales from Make-do Studio.In conclusion, the author summarizes the significance of Poe’s and Pu’s horrible works and their influence and contributions to the later literature.更多还原
