Poe Spaces: Within and Beyond the Spatial Turn, like its predecessor Poe and Place (Palgrave, 2018), contributes to Poe studies and spatial literary criticism by “mapping” literary, biographical, cultural, visual, and literary-historical relations with the aim of “revealing hitherto unknown connections and ideological or cultural relationships.” Poe’s remarkable versatility as an artist makes Poe, his works, and international appeal appropriate foci of both geospatial and spatial consideration. The eighteen chapters that make up this volume contribute to current critical conversations about Poe’s transatlantic affinities and global influence by examining his associations with “place” and “space.” Whereas Poe and Place concerns biographical places important to Poe with an emphasis on geographical locations and the limits of the imagination, Poe Spaces more expansively considers the various spheres of Poe’s activities and influence. In Physics, Aristotle describes “place” as a “vessel,” that is, “a place that itself can be moved about,” but “just as the vessel is no part of its content, … the place is no part of that which is in it.” “Space,” however, is an extension of the idea of place and thus a categorical state within and through which things occur—whether in the physical world or the realm of the imagination. As Edward S. Casey explains in The Fate of Place: A Philosophical History, “If place bears on what lies in—in a container, dwelling, or vessel—space characteristically moves out, so far out as to explode the closely confining perimeters within which Aristotle attempted to ensconce material things. In this unequal battle, spacing-out triumphs over placing-in.” Poe Spaces thus shifts the conversation from discussions of “place” to “space(s),” in which “space,” as Casey observes, “connotes something undelimited and open-ended,” and invites reconsideration of this amorphous aspect of Poe’s life and works.
