| Abstract | "This book offers a fresh perspective on the twentieth-century American weird fiction author H. P. Lovecraft and argues that the gentleman of Providence was a Romantic at heart. The book takes a philosophical approach and draws on Lovecraft's essays, fiction and letters as well as poetry. Along the way, the reader is introduced to Lovecraft's relationship with wonder, his aversion towards the cold light of reason, his teetotalism and his love of gardens, contemplation, joy, the dramatic, the strange, the foreign and the beautiful. Also, the reader is privy to an exploration of Lovecraft's wonder-evoking tropes, the idea of dark wonder and what he called the Dunsanian Conjuration"-- Provided by publisher. |
