H. P. Lovecraft's "Supernatural Horror in Literature," first
published in 1927, is widely recognized as the finest historical
survey of horror literature ever written. The product of both a
keen critical analyst and a working practitioner in the field, the
essay affords unique insights into the nature, development, and
history of the weird tale. Beginning with instances of weirdness in
ancient literature, Lovecraft proceeds to discuss horror writing in
the Renaissance, the first Gothic novels of the late 18th century,
the revolutionary importance of Edgar Allan Poe, the work of such
leading figures as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ambrose Bierce, and William
Hope Hodgson, and the four "modern masters"-Arthur Machen, Lord
Dunsany, Algernon Blackwood and M. R. James. In this annotated
edition of Lovecraft's seminal work, acclaimed Lovecraft scholar S.
T. Joshi has supplied detailed commentary on many points. In
addition, Joshi has supplied a comprehensive bibliography of all
the authors and works discussed in the essay, with references to
modern editions and critical studies. For this new edition, Joshi
has exhaustively revised and updated the bibliography and also
revamped the notes to bring the book in line with the most
up-to-date scholarship on Lovecraft and weird fiction. The entire
volume has also been redesigned for ease of reading and reference.
This latest edition will be invaluable both to devotees of
Lovecraft and to enthusiasts of the weird tale.
