TO THE PROBLEM OF EDGAR POE’S DETECTIVE STORIES’ CYCLE
Poe’s works are considered to be the beginning of the detective fiction on the whole. Poe’s “logical stories”, generally regarded as the “detective” ones, are based on crimes’ solving. The analysis of the motives of crimes can be found in his “self-accusation stories”. The micro cycle of the “self-accusation stories” within Poe’s detective cycle will help study Russian reception of Poe’s detective stories in detail.
