Howard, Clark Ashton Smith and H.P. Lovecraft","description":"\u003cp\u003e Serious literary artists such as T.S. Eliot, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf loom large in most accounts of the literary art of the first half of the 20th century. And yet, working in the shadows cast by these modernists were science fiction, horror and fantasy writers like the \"\u003ci\u003eWeird Tales\u003c\/i\u003e Three\" H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith and Robert E. Howard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e They did not publish in artistically ambitious magazines like \u003ci\u003eDial, The Smart Set\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Little Review\u003c\/i\u003e but instead in commercial pulp magazines like \u003ci\u003eWeird Tales\u003c\/i\u003e. Contrary to the stereotypes about pulp fiction and those who wrote it, these three were serious literary artists who used their fiction to speculate about such philosophical questions as the function of art and the brevity of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Ray Carney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476668035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476668031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Jason Ray Carney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065859436799,"sku":"9781476668031","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63a9c13e-c6cb-40ec-93a9-ecfa8f5fd1c1.jpg?v=1685403915","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/weird-tales-of-modernity-jason-ray-carney-9781476668031","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
