Dupin finds the purloined letter4/8/2023 Genellikle saklı tutulanı ortaya çıkarmak üzere yapılan bir soruşturmayı konu edinen dedektif yazınının tipik bir örneği olmanın tersine, “The Purloined Letter” daha ziyade görünürde tutulanı ortaya çıkarmayla ilgilidir. Poe’nun 1844 yılında yazıp yayımladığı üç Dupin hikayesinden üçüncü olanıdır. “Literary Studies and Literary Pragmatics: The Case of "The Purloined Letter".” SubStance, 25(3), 69-89. “The Detective Myth in Edgar Allan Poe's Dupin Trilogy.” In Brian Docherty (Ed.), American Crime Fiction: Studies in the Genre (pp. “Destin, Design, Dasein: Lacan, Derrida and "The Purloined Letter".” The Iowa Review 12(4), 1-11. “The Purloined Letter.” In Edgar Allan Poe (Auth.), Tales of Mystery and Imagination (pp. “The Violence of Melancholy: Poe against Himself.” American Literary History 8(3), 533-551. “The Frame of Reference: Poe, Lacan, Derrida.” Yale French Studies (55/56), 457-505. “Seminar on "The Purloined Letter".” Yale French Studies (48), 39-72. “Mysteries We Reread, Mysteries of Rereading: Poe, Borges and the Analytic Detective Story Also Lacan, Derrida, and Johnson.” MLN 101(5), 1168-1215. “The Purveyor of Truth.” Yale French Studies (96), 124-197. “The Figure-Power Dialectic: Poe's "Purloined Letter".” MLN 110(4), 679-691.
