Leírás:
In the years following H.P. Lovecraft's premature death in 1937, many of his friends and admirers were moved to write down their personal impressions of the man. These early reminiscences appeared mainly in obscure amateur journals or in the Arkham House miscellany volumes starting in 1944 with Marginalia. Some of the more important ones have since been reprinted, but a great deal of worthy material for too long has been available, if available at all, only to those willing to pay high premiums in the collector's market. Now, in one omnibus volume, Lovecraft scholar Peter Cannon has gathered all the major shorter memoirs, together with some rare contemporary glimpses from the amateur press before the master fantasist made his mark in Weird Tales. Here are such classic tributes from the 1940s as W. Paul Cook's 'In Memoriam,' Winfield Townley Scott's 'His Own Most Fantastic Creation,' and R.H. Barlow's 'The Wind That Is in the Grass.' Later reminiscences include Kenneth Sterling's brilliant account of Lovecraft in his final years in Providence and Mara Kirk Hart's fascinating chronicle of the Kalem Club based on the letters of her father, George Kirk. Rounding out the book is a selection of early criticism, which charts the progress of Lovecraft's reputation from August Derleth's Cthulhu mythologizing to Fritz Leiber's cosmic insights. Veteran Lovecraftians and new acolytes alike will welcome Lovecraft Remembered as an invaluable trove of first-hand information on their literary hero. |
