摘　　要：自19世纪以来,爱伦·坡因其文学作品缺乏对社会伦理道德的显性观照而备受责难。爱伦·坡批判和抵制在美国19世纪主流文学中大行其道的道德主义说教,应和了现代艺术审美范式的演进。爱伦·坡坚守艺术自律的美学原则,以追寻艺术的和谐形式和理想之美为目标,让美与道德(善)在更高的层面上再次产生更为密切的关联,将审美精神提升到道德高度。同时,爱伦·坡褒扬文学作品中隐在的道德寓意和道德关怀,并在文学创作中躬身力行。重构爱伦·坡文学批评理念的道德内核,有助于昭示其文学思想的社会价值与伦理意义,从而为全面把握其文学作品中艺术的审美价值与道德教谕的关系提供一种新的认知。Since the 19^th century,Edgar Allan Poe has been harshly admonished for his lack of explicit concern with social ethics in his literary works.Poe criticized and resisted the moralistic preaching that prevailed in the mainstream of the 19th-century American literature,working in concert with the evolution of modern aesthetic paradigm.In adherence to the aesthetic principle of artistic autonomy,Poe set the pursuit of the congruous form and ideal beauty of art as his goal,generating,on a much higher level,a more intimate connection between beauty and morality(goodness)once again,and elevating the aesthetic spirit to a moral height.Meanwhile,Poe not only offered his endorsement for the implicit moral implications and concerns in literary works,but also practiced what he endorsed in his own literary writings.Reconstructing the moral core of Poe’s literary criticism helps uncover the social value and ethical significance of his literary thought and,thereby,provides a new cognitive perspective on a comprehensive grasp of the relationship between the aesthetic value and the moral instruction from the art of his literary works.
