Abstract

The present article analyzes the incidence of the literary tradition of doubling in the short narratives of Edgar Allan Poe. Itpresents an analysis of doubling in Poe’s short narratives from the different critical perspectives of previous research on literaryand non-literary doubling, and also from Poe’s own views as a literary critic. It contends that Poe’s compliant and subversiveuse of traditional literary doubling corresponds with his critical views on the compositional unity of effect as he developed themin “The Philosophy of Composition.”
