O knihe

This fourth volume of selected papers from the Dr. Henry M. Armitage Memorial Scholarship Symposium, delivered at NecronomiCon Providence 2019, contains an array of groundbreaking articles on Lovecraft's life, work, and thought. Papers by Kyle Gamache and Thomas Schwaiger focus on Lovecraft's relations with his brilliant young friend R. H. Barlow, whose story "The Night Ocean" is one of the finest weird tales of its era. Elena Tchougounova-Paulson and Christian Roy address connections between Lovecraft's work and that of the philosophers Alexander Blok and Georges Bataille. Benjamin Davis studies contemporary views of Tibet in reference to Lovecraft's citation of that obscure realm. Heather Poirier traces the relationship of Lovecraft's work with the Southern literature of his time, while Jeremiah Dylan Cook probes the influence of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herbert S. Gorman on "The Shadow over Innsmouth." Other papers discuss the Necronomicon, such seminal tales as "The Outsider," "Pickman's Model," "The Colour out of Space," and At the Mountains of Madness, and other vital topics. In all, the essays in this volume constitute cutting-edge scholarship on one of the most provocative authors of his time.
