Howard Phillips Lovecraft, the American author of "weird tales" who died in 1937, impoverished and relatively unknown, has since become a twenty-first-century star, cropping up in places both anticipated and unexpected. Authors, filmmakers, and shapers of popular culture like Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Guillermo del Toro acknowledge his influence. His fiction is key to the work of post-human philosophers and cultural critics such as Graham Harman and Eugene Thacker; and Lovecraft's creations have achieved unprecedented cultural ubiquity, even showing up on the animated program South Park. The Age of Lovecraft is the first sustained analysis of Lovecraft in relation to twenty-first-century critical theory and culture, delving into troubling aspects of his thought and writings. With contributions from scholars including Gothic expert David Punter, historian W. Scott Poole, musicologist Isabella van Elferen, and philosopher of the post-human Patricia MacCormack, this wide-ranging volume brings together thinkers from an array of disciplines to consider Lovecraft's contemporary cultural presence and its implications. Bookended by a preface from horror fiction luminary Ramsey Campbell and an extended interview with the central author of the New Weird, China Miéville, the collection addresses the question of "why Lovecraft, why now?" through a variety of approaches and angles. A must for scholars, students, and theoretically inclined readers interested in Lovecraft, popular culture, and intellectual trends, The Age of Lovecraft offers the most thorough examination of Lovecraft's place in contemporary philosophy and critical theory to date as it seeks to shed light on the larger phenomenon of the dominance of weird fiction in the twenty-first century.

Octavo Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition, 1st Printing. A very good, unread copy, with a few small finger-oil marks to the front board. Original publisher sticker affixed to back board. Bound in gray paper boards as issued without jacket. Foreword by Ramsey Campbell. An introduction "Lovecraft Rising" by Sederholm and Weinstock. Includes essays "'Goulish Dialogues': H. P. Lovecraft's Weird Geographics," "Lovecraft's Things: Sinister Souvenirs rom Other Worlds," "Hyper-Cacophony: Lovecraft, Speculative Realism, and Sonic Materialism," " Prehistories of Posthumanism: Cosmic Indifferentism, Alien Genesis, and Ecology from H. P. Lovecraft to Ridley Scott'" "Race, Species, and Others: H. P. Lovecraft and the Animal," "H. P. Lovecraft's Reluctant Sexuality: Abjection and the Monstrous Feminine in 'The Dunwich Horror', and several others. "In this wide-ranging collection of essays, editors Sederholm and Weinstock seek to put a contemporary lens on the works of 20th-century "weird fiction" writer H.P. Lovecraft. The editors are quick to point out that while there have been some 33 previous monographs or edited collections of Lovecraft criticism, their work is the "first sustained analysis of Lovecraft in relation to 21st-century critical theory." The contributors were posed the questions "Why Lovecraft?" and "Why now?", and their answers are enlightening and on the cutting edge of contemporary literary theory. In 11 essays, this collection moves from James Kneale on how Lovecraft's "infamously awkward style allows him to address the weirdness of reality itself" to coeditor Sederholm on the author's reluctance to write about sexuality; another entry, by Jessica George, close-reads a Lovecraftian short story by Neil Gaiman. The strongest piece is "Lovecraft's Cosmic Ethics," by Patricia MacCormack. Her reflections on perspective, chaos, and posthumanism make for a challenging but rewarding read. The scholarship throughout is sharp, current, and often makes use of one of the greatest strengths of Lovecraft study: his abundant published correspondence. An appreciative foreword by horror author Ramsey Campbell and a brief concluding interview with New Weird fiction writer China Miéville round out this eclectic assortment." (Publisher's Weekly).
