H. P. Lovecraft's Dark Arcadia: The Satire, Symbology and Contradiction

Provides an objective reassessment of the controversial works and life of American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. Gavin Callaghan goes back to the texts themselves, and follows where Lovecraft leads him: into an arcane world of parental giganticism and inverted classicism, in which Lovecraft's parental obsessions were twisted into the all-powerful cosmic monsters of his imaginary cosmology.
