Poe's Genre Crossing: From Domesticity to Detection

Original language description

?Poe?s Genre-Crossing: From Domesticity to Detection? examines the crucial but critically unremarked influences of domestic fiction on the genre-founding detective stories of Edgar Allan Poe. Domestic novels achieved their immense appeal in the early nineteenth century in part by offering readers an ideal of home life as an antidote to the multiple alienations of the emerging marketplace. While the features of Poe?s detective obviously diverge in striking respects from those of the domestic heroine, theessay demonstrates that detective fiction nevertheless recreates the cultural functions of domestic fiction to counter and confound commercial culture. However, while the virtuous homemaker promoted by women?s fiction provides a shelter from the instrumentality of the public sphere, Poe?s detective (in appropriating elements of the domestic woman?s social role) drives the frontiers of the private sphere to a challenging new standard of nonconformity.
