LOVECRAFT AND A WORLD IN TRANSITION
COLLECTED ESSAYS ON H.P. LOVECRAFT
For the past thirty-five years, S. T. Joshî has been one of
the leading authorities on H. P. Lovecraft. As Lovecraft s
editor and biographer, Joshi has revolutionized our
understanding of the dreamer from Providence. This
enormous volume, which contains all the critical essays
that Joshi has written since 1979. is a treasure-house
of scholarship that exhibits Joshi’s all-encompassing
knowledge of Lovecraft the man, writer, and thinker.
Joshi has focused on a holistic understanding of Lovecraft,
integrating his life and thought into the study of his
work. Lovecraft, the atheist and materialist, infused his
worldview into each tale, essay, and poem. Joshi has
studied the interrelations between Lovecraft s life and
work in such papers as "‘Autobiography in Lovecraft” and
“Lovecraft and the Munsey Magazines.” Joshi s analysis
of Lovecraft s philosophical thought comes forth in such
major essays as “Lovecraft s Alien Civilisations: A Political
Interpretation” and “H. P. Lovecraft: The Fiction of
Materialism.”
Joshi has also devoted much attention to neglected
aspects of Lovecraft s work, and this book contains
illuminating discussions of Lovecraft s poetry, essays,
and letters. Joshi s landmark study “Textual Problems in
I Lovecraft” laid the groundwork for his corrected editions
of Lovecraft s tales. A final section of the book studies
Lovecraft s legacy and influence, including a lengthy essay
on the Cthulhu Mythos and, as a capstone, a transcript of
Joshis keynote address at the NecronomiCon convention
I of 2013.
This mammoth volume features nearly four decades
of scholarship on one of the towering writers of the
twentieth century, written by one of his most
insightful interpreters.
