Biographical Note
H. P. Lovecraft is widely considered the twentieth century's
most important writer ofsupernatural horror fiction. Forging a
unique niche within the horror genre, he created whatbecame known
as "weird tales," stories containing a distinctive blend of
dreamlike imagery,Gothic terror, and elaborate concocted mythology.
During his lifetime Lovecraft publishedwork almost exclusively in
pulp magazines, and only after his death in 1937 did he receivea
wide readership and critical analysis. While many disparage his
writings as verbose,melodramatic, and inconsequential, others extol
his precise narrative skills and capacityto instill the unsettling.
He has been placed among the ranks of such storytellers as
LordDunsany, Arthur Machen, and Edgar Allan Poe, but, as August
Derleth pointed out in H. P.L.: A Memoir, "Lovecraft was an
original in the Gothic tradition; he was a skilled writer
ofsupernatural fiction, a master of the macabre who had no peer in
the America of his time."According to Curt Wohleber in American
Heritage, Lovecraft was "the man who broughtthe . . . thriving
genre of supernatural fiction into the twentieth century. . . .
Lovecraftabandoned the demons, ghosts, and vampires of his
nineteenth-century predecessors infavor of modern horrors inspired
by Darwinian evolution and Einsteinian physics."
Born in 1890 in Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft grew up in
the affluent and intellectualsurroundings of his grandfather's
Victorian mansion. Sickly as a child and only able toattend school
sporadically, he was an avid reader, fascinated by
eighteenth-centuryhistory and Gothic horror stories. He was
particularly interested in science and began towrite about it at an
early age. Following the death of his grandfather in 1904,
Lovecraftand his mother moved from the family mansion to a nearby
duplex (his father, a virtualstranger to Lovecraft, had died some
years earlier after spending the last years of his lifein a
sanitorium). Lovecraft would later relate that, raised by a
sensitive and overprotectivemother, he grew up in relative
isolation, believing he was unlike other people.
Chronic sickness as a teenager prevented Lovecraft from
finishing high school or attendingcollege. He continued his
self-education and supported himself by working as a ghostwriterand
revisionist--vocations that, though disliked by Lovecraft, would
financially sustain himthroughout his life. An admirer of Poe, he
had begun writing horror tales but, deemingthem meager efforts,
devoted himself to amateur journalism. In addition, he
contributednonfiction and poetry to magazines. In 1914 Lovecraft
joined the United Amateur PressAssociation, a group of
nonprofessional writers who produced a variety of publicationsand
exchanged letters, and one year later he began publishing his own
magazine, TheConservative. His numerous letters and essays written
during this time focus on his deeprespect for scientific truth, his
love of the past, and his relative disdain for a present-dayworld
populated by non-Anglo-Nordic citizens. Lovecraft developed the
belief, to quote

Darrell Schweitzer in The Dream Quest of H. P. Lovecraft, "that
only by clinging to traditioncould we make life worth living amidst
the chaos of modern civilization."
Lovecraft resumed writing fiction in 1917 and, at the behest of
friends, began submittingstories to Weird Tales, a pulp magazine
that would serve as the major publisher ofLovecraft's writings
during his lifetime. Critics note that many of his early tales are
heavilyinfluenced by Irish fantasist Lord Dunsany. Such stories as
"Dagon," "The White Ship,""The Silver Key," "The Doom That Came to
Sarnath," and "The Cats of Ulthar" stem fromfairy tale tradition,
exhibiting rich dreamlike descriptions and imaginary settings.
"Thisearly cycle culminated in the extraordinary short novel
Lovecraft called The Dream Questof Unknown Kadath," stated Lin
Carter in his introduction to Ballantine's edition of thework. The
story of protagonist Randolph Carter's search for a magnificent
city he onceenvisioned, The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath depicts
Carter's voyage into the world ofhis dreams, where wondrous
landscapes and fantastic creatures exist. "Few more magicalnovels
of dream-fantasy exist than this phantasmagoric adventure,"
declared Carter."[Never have] the fluid and changing landscapes,
the twilit and mysterious silences, and thespire-thronged and
opulent Oriental cities of the dreamworld been so lovingly
explored."
Contrasting to these relatively innocuous stories of fantasy are
Lovecraft's tales of horror,remarkable for their bizarre
supernatural conceptions rooted in the realism of a NewEngland
setting. Lovecraft was captivated by what he considered the ideal
beauty of NewEngland's traditional landscape and architecture.
However, he was also intrigued by aperceived darker dimension. His
stories "The Unnameable" and "The Picture in the House,"for
example, depict corruption and superstition that persist in
secluded New England areas."The Festival" illustrates unearthly
rituals practiced in the picturesque town of Kingsport--a village
Lovecraft modeled after Marblehead, Massachusetts, and "Pickman's
Model"focuses on a group of ghouls inhabiting modern Boston.
Similar to these stories is thenovel The Case of Charles Dexter
Ward, in which the title character engages in magic toresurrect a
seventeenth-century ancestor named Curwen. A practitioner of the
black arts inSalem, Curwen is determined to inflict his evil on
modern Massachusetts and consequentlytakes over the identity of
Ward, who is later saved by the family doctor.
The best known of Lovecraft's stories are his later ones
centering on the "Cthulhu Mythos,"a term critics use to describe a
distinctive universe of landscape, legends, and mythologycompletely
of Lovecraft's invention. Like his earlier tales, the Cthulhu
Mythos works areinspired by New England locales, but their settings
are extensively recast to form Arkham,Innsmouth, and Dunwich,
fictional worlds overseen by Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, and othergods.
These stories, explained Lovecraft as quoted by August Derleth,
"are based on thefundamental lore or legend that this world was
inhabited at one time by another race who,

in practising black magic, lost their foothold and were
expelled, yet live on the outside everready to take possession of
this earth again." Tales governed by this principle include
"TheNameless City," "The Call of the Cthulhu," "The Whisperer in
the Darkness," and At theMountains of Madness.
In addition to writing weird tales, Lovecraft maintained an
extensive correspondence andcontinued to generate a number of
essays. Through these nonfiction outlets, he expoundedon the
aesthetics of supernatural horror fiction and on such philosophies
as "mechanisticmaterialism" and "cosmic indifferentism"--the idea
that the universe is a purposelessmechanism wherein humankind is
largely insignificant. Lovecraft also produced a relativelylarge
body of poetry, mostly imitative of eighteenth-century masters.
Though he wroteprolifically, only one book, 1936's The Shadow over
Innsmouth, realized publication duringhis lifetime. When Lovecraft
died of intestinal cancer at the age of forty-six, the bulk of
hiswritings remained either scattered in magazines or
unpublished.
Later, Lovecraft's friends and fellow writers August Derleth and
Donald Wandrei broughthis writings to a wide readership.
Establishing the publishing house of Arkham expresslyto bring
Lovecraft's work into book form, Derleth and Wandrei edited such
early collectionsas The Outsider and Others in 1939 and Beyond the
Wall of Sleep in 1943. Numerousvolumes of the horror writer's work
have been collected by Arkham and other publishersover subsequent
decades, and this broader circulation has spawned an extensive
anddiverse body of analysis.
Admirers of Lovecraft point to several elements in his fiction
that distinguish him asa master of supernatural horror. Foremost is
his ability to evoke terror through thecreation of an unseen and
unearthly presence. Lovecraft once explained in his lengthyessay,
Supernatural Horror in Literature, that in order for fiction to
instill fear, "a certainatmosphere of breathless and unexpected
dread of outer, unknown forces must bepresent." Particularly
impressed by Lovecraft's capacity to induce anxiety in this way
wasAngela Carter, who described in an essay appearing in George
Hay's The Necronomicon:"The twisted shapes of the trees in the
woods above Arkham are emanations of themenace they evoke--menace,
anguish, perturbation, dread. The cities themselves,whether those
of old New England or those that lie beyond the gates of dream,
presentthe dreadful enigma of a maze, always labyrinthine and
always, the Minotaur at the heartof this labyrinth, lies the
unspeakable in some form or else in some especially vile state
offormlessness--the unspeakable, a nameless and unnameable
fear."
While some critics have been satisfied that Lovecraft
effectively arouses fear solely throughdeveloping a sense of
imminent dread, others pointed to an extra element in his fiction
that

http://www.riamco.org/render.php?eadid=US-RPB-mslovecraft&view=title
creates a more powerful terror. Donald Burleson explained in H.
P. Lovecraft: A CriticalStudy: "The horror, ultimately, in a
Lovecraft tale is not some gelatinous lurker in darkplaces, but
rather the realization, by the characters involved, of their
helplessness and theirinsignificance in the scheme of things--their
terribly ironic predicament of being sufficientlywell-developed
organisms to perceive and feel the poignancy of their own
motelikeunimportance in a blind and chaotic universe which neither
loves them nor even finds themworthy of notice, let alone hatred or
hostility." Steven J. Mariconda, writing in LovecraftStudies,
expressed a similar sentiment, calling Lovecraft's tales "cosmic
horror . . . thehorror of unknowable forces or beings which sweep
men aside as indifferently as men doants."
Other uncommon components marking Lovecraft's work include his
manner of combiningsterile scientific facts with arcane mysticism.
Lovecraft "was uniquely able to link the innersubstance of former
spiritual beliefs with the most recent scientific discoveries,"
explainedSchweitzer. "He used a rational, mechanistic context to
get his readers to the edge ofthe abyss--and then dropped them
over. The result was an irrational horror grimmer thananything a
Puritan could conjure up." Critics also admired Lovecraft's ability
to agitate hisreaders by creating an atmosphere of chaos.
Lovecraft's universe, according the MauriceLevy in Lovecraft: A
Study in the Fantastic, is a place of "bizarre dimensions . . .
wheretime and space stretch or contract in incomprehensible ways."
These various featuresof Lovecraft's fiction lead many reviewers to
conclude, as Dirk Mosig did in Whispers,that "[Lovecraft's oeuvre]
is a work of genius, a cosmic-minded oeuvre embodying amechanistic
materialist's brilliant conception of the imaginary realms and
frightful reality'beyond the fields we know,' a literary rhapsody
of the cosmos and man's laughableposition therein. . . . The
Lovecraft oeuvre can be regarded as a significant contribution
toworld literature."
Despite extensive praise, controversy exists over Lovecraft's
position in American letters."At his best . . . [Lovecraft] was a
superior literary technician," wrote Schweitzer. "At hisworst, he
was one of the more dreadful writers of this century who is still
remembered."Other critics have been less gentle. Deeming Lovecraft
"a totally untalented andunreadable writer" as well as "a hopeless
and rather pitiful literary crank," Larry McMurtrydismissed
Lovecraft in the Washington Post as "the master of the turgid and
the inflated."Colin Wilson, in Strength to Dream: Literature and
the Imagination, further attackedthe author's prose, claiming,
"Lovecraft hurls in the adjectives ('monstrous,'
'slithering,''ghoulish,' 'thunder-crazed') until he seems to be a
kind of literary dervish who gibbers withhysteria as he spins. . .
. [It] must be admitted that Lovecraft is a very bad writer."
Evenmore scornful was Ursula Le Guin, who announced in the Times
Literary Supplement thatLovecraft "was an exceptionally, almost
impeccably, bad writer. . . . Derivative, inept, and

callow, his tales can satisfy only those who believe that a
capital letter, some words, and afull stop make a sentence."
Curt Wohleber described Lovecraft's prose as "florid" and
"Gothic," but the reviewernevertheless concluded that Lovecraft
"explored the territories of alienation surveyed withmuch different
instruments by Sartre, Kafka, and Beckett." Lovecraft himself made
nopretensions of possessing great writing talent. "No one is more
acutely conscious than I ofthe inadequacy of my work. . . . I am a
self-confessed amateur and bungler, and have notmuch hope of
improvement," the author confessed in "The Defense Reopens!," an
articlelater collected in S. T. Joshi's In Defense of Dagon. He
did, however, consider himselfa serious artist, practitioner, and
theorist. Lovecraft "demanded that the fantastic tale betreated as
art, not just a frivolous parlor game or an easy way to make a
buck," wroteSchweitzer.
Placing himself among those whom he considered "imaginative
artists," such as Poe,Dunsany, William Blake, and Ambrose Bierce,
Lovecraft explained in "The DefenseReopens!": "The imaginative
writer devotes himself to art in its most essential sense. . . .He
is the painter of moods and mind-pictures--a capturer and amplifier
of elusive dreamsand fancies--a voyager into those unheard-of lands
which are glimpsed through the veil ofactuality but rarely, and
only by the most sensitive. . . . Most persons do not
understandwhat he says, and most of those who do understand object
because his statements andpictures are not always pleasant and
sometimes quite impossible. But he exists not forpraise, nor thinks
of his readers. His only [goal is] to paint the scenes that pass
before hiseyes."
