H.P. Lovecraft: New England Decadent - Paperback

by Barton Levi St Armand (Author)

H.P. Lovecraft: New England Decadent was first published in 1979, a date that marks the halfway point between Lovecraft's death and the present day. This corrected publication offers a unique insight into the history of Lovecraft scholarship and describes Lovecraft's roots in the decadent movement of 19th Century Europe. WaterFire Providence is delighted to be publishing this long out of print monograph as part of our commitment to creative placemaking in Providence. I am delighted that we are able to support Professor Emeritus Barton Levi St. Armand in re-releasing his work on the occasion of NecronomiCon Providence 2013. I would like to thank Barton for his time on preparing this corrected edition; Niels-Viggo Hobbs, Director of NecronomiCon Providence; Tim Blankenship, Andrew Doig, and Jess Powers at WaterFire Providence; Edward P. Coderre and Diana R. Coderre at The Digital Ark; and Paul Margrave, Nate Storring, and Emma Sarconi at the John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage at Brown University. Without their hard work and engaged support this new edition would not have been possible. This publication is part of WaterFire's on-going exploration of new approaches to creative placemaking through art, design and innovation. This larger creative placemaking program is made possible in part by the support of ArtPlace America.
