Resumo

A influência de Edgar Allan Poe na cultura e literatura norte-americana é tema de debate contínuo na teoria literária contemporânea. Entretanto, o legado criativo de Poe para os escritos de Miriam Allen Deford permanece negligenciado pela crítica literária. A ficção de Deford explora uma gama de gêneros literários, como biografia, ficção científica e contos detetivescos. Observando tais premissas como ponto de partida, este artigo pretende identificar similaridades entre “A Death in the Family” e algumas obras de Poe. Apoiando-se nos estudos de J. T. Irwin, James M. Hutchisson e outros, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar passagens do conto de Deford em comparação com a poesia e prosa ficcional de Poe. A análise sugere que o conto de horror “A Death in the Family,” publicado em 1961, foi inspirado por contos góticos, histórias de detetive e poemas de Poe.
