H.P. Lovecraft and Lovecraft Criticism: An Annotated Bibliography by Joshi, S. T - 1981

"The difficulties involved in Lovecraft bibliography may perhaps be as formidable as those for any writer of this century, and they stem not only from the oddities of his publication history but from the ambivalent nature of his critical acceptance. ...Had Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) chosen to write in any other genre but fantasy, it is likely that the bibliography of his work would not remain so equivocal; for the somewhat provincial prejudice that America and England (but not, it is to be noted, France or Germany) have had toward weird fiction, ever since the Gothic novels of the late eighteenth century, has ensured the literary obscurity of virtually all fantasists save Edgar Allan Poe, who himself is but uneasily placed in the framework of American literature..."
