Esta pesquisa adentra o campo da literatura policial, investigando de que maneira as configurações detetivescas modernas criadas por Edgar Allan Poe, fazem-se presentes, reinventando-se na contemporaneidade. Assim, para responder a essa questão, busca-se entender as configurações detetivescas modernas e analisar os romances policiais brasileiros As iniciais (1999), de Bernardo Carvalho, e O silêncio da chuva (2005), de Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza, para visualizar como essas configurações são postas nos livros. Destaca-se que o romance policial contemporâneo, apesar de manter muitas configurações modernas, não tem uma estrutura fixa e linear, dividindo-se em duas áreas: o whoddunit e o roman noir.

Every era has had its scourge, contagion, pestilence, or plague. And every age has had to deal with those problems in the best way it could at the time. Edgar Allan Poe creates for us a leader whose method of “dealing” was, at best, ill-considered.

Chapter 10 compares the work of J. Sheridan Le Fanu, Edgar Allan Poe, and Emmanuel Swedenborg. Le Fanu is closely connected to Maturin and copies a number of his tropes in ‘Spalatro’: mimetic contagion, blood for money, the demonic tempter, and suicide. Le Fanu, aware of the deathliness of his Anglo-Irish culture, seeks ways to engender life and movement through narrating and revealing death so that a transcendence beyond can be imagined. He is compared to Poe, whose female protagonists remain entrapped by materiality even as they seek to escape it, and shown to be more grotesque. He uses Swedenborg to render the afterlife itself material and real, especially through his spiritual creatures, and to make the transcendent the cause of the natural. A proto-feminist theology yokes female Gothic entrapment to the power of death, and the heroines of ‘Schalken the Painter’ and ‘Carmilla’ apocalyptically reveal the presence of death in its grotesque materiality, while the women of Uncle Silas act as agents of heavenly charity.
