  • Racial Blasphemies

    Religious Irreverence and Race in American Literature

    by Michael L. Cobb ...

    by S. T. Joshi ...
    The author writes:This book began as an expansion of my essay, "H. P. Lovecraft: The Decline of the West," in The Weird Tale, but very quickly became something quite different, to the degree that the two works have little save the title in common. I have always been interested in Lovecraft the philosopher, and in my Starmont Reader’s Guide to Lovecraft (1982) I attempted a very compressed account ... Read more

    by ku'ualoha ho'omanawanui ...

    by Gavin Jones ...
    Series series 20/21
    Social anxiety about poverty surfaces with startling frequency in American literature.
