This lengthy historical essay on [[weird fiction]] by [[H. P. Lovecraft]] (1890-1937) was originally written in the late 1920s in response to a request from his friend [[W. Paul Cook]] for publication in the magazine, ''[[The Recluse]]''.

A revised version of the essay was serialized in the 1930s in the [[fanzine]], ''[[The Fantasy Fan]]''.
 
 
 
[[Lovecraft]] continued to revise the essay, and his final version was published in ''The Outsider and Others'', a [[Lovecraft]] memorial volume, edited by [[August Derleth]] and [[Donald Wandrei]] in 1939, two years after Lovecraft's death.  The version of the essay that appeared there became the official text of the essay, and it has been reprinted several times since then.
 
 
 
It's a fine piece of work, but many [[fans]] regret that [[Lovecraft]] spent so much of his short writing career on ordinary scholarship when he could have spent it on his extraordinary fiction.
