本論文以邱妙津、袁哲生為中心，從作家生前、身後的評價、自我陳述，以及作品當中，探究兩位作家「死後之名」的不同及不同的原因，並尋找死亡與憂鬱意識在作家生命歷程佔據的線索：從邱妙津強烈的愛情觀和成就爭取裡分析她的存在焦慮，以此正面評價邱妙津對生的努力；從袁哲生文本、手札裡歸納其逃避與失落、生命廢棄的茫然感、和死亡情節的反覆細述，指出袁哲生的掙扎與創作所帶來的折磨與憂鬱，試圖藉由這樣的研究正面凝視憂鬱與自殺的存在，使作家在既有的意義框架當中，孳生更多詮釋與理解的可能。This research focuses on the life and work of two Taiwanese writers, Ciou Miao-Jin and Yuan Zhe-Sheng.
