Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson, Nineteenth-century literature, moral, transgression

Abstract

the paper explores the moral conceptions underlying some works of Nineteenth-century
literature, mainly Poe’s and Stevenson’s. It is shown that there are two kinds of transgression in those
works’s characters: a practical transgression referred to action and a theoretical transgression founded in
the reflection on those actions, in showing the differences between the wicked action and the conditions
and implications of its emergence
