摘 要
中美文學史上有兩個人比較相似，那就是美國19世紀浪漫主義詩人愛倫坡與中國唐代苦吟詩人孟郊。他們都以自己獨特的藝術創作風格，卻有別於他人的創作心理和審美特徵，在中美兩國的文學史上佔有一席之地。
本文試圖通過對他們的比較，分析兩人相同的和不同的創作心理和手法。作者對他們逆向藝術創作心理和審美取向以及獨特的創作手法進行考察，認為他們是以非同常人的眼光去審視人生世界，歌頌死亡，歌頌醜陋，用死亡去表達對生的追求，以美的`破壞去獲得美的實現的。
相同的命運導致相似的創作心理，不同的文化背景導致不同的創作手法。本文結合國內外文學研究、比較研究對兩位詩人展開了一系列的比較。在總結他們的相似處之外，作者更是指出了他們在創作中的特點.
