P. Lovecraft has come to be recognised as the leading author of supernatural fiction in the twentieth century. But how did a man who died in poverty, with no book of his stories published in his lifetime, become such an icon in horror literature? S. T. Joshi, the leading authority on Lovecraft, traces in detail the course of Lovecraft's life and shows how Lovecraft was engaged in the political, economic, social and intellectual currents of his time.Liverpool science fiction texts and studies.Horror tales, AmericanAuthors, American20th centuryBiographyElectronic books.Horror tales, American.Authors, American813.52813/.52 BJoshi S.

Taking us to the contested grave sites of such figures as Sitting Bull, John Paul Jones, Frank Lloyd Wright, Daniel Boone, Jefferson Davis, and even Abraham Lincoln, Kammen explores how complicated interactions of regional pride, shifting reputations, and evolving burial practices led to public and often emotional battles over the final resting places of famous figures. Grave-robbing, skull-fondling, cases of mistaken identity, and the financial lures of cemetery tourism all come into play as Kammen delves deeply into this little-known-yet surprisingly persistent-aspect of American history. Simultaneously insightful and interesting, masterly and macabre, Digging Up the Dead reminds us that the stories of American history don't always end when the key players pass on. Rather, the battle-over reputations, interpretations, and, last but far from least, possession of the remains themselves-is often just beginning.ExhumationUnited StatesHistoryExhumationPolitical aspectsUnited StatesBurialUnited StatesHistoryFuneral rites and ceremoniesUnited StatesHistoryExhumationHistory.ExhumationPolitical aspectsBurialHistory.Funeral rites and ceremoniesHistory.393/.10973Kammen Michael G1106842MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958237103321Digging up the dead4354473UNINA
