Here’s a quick and dirty translation, giving the gist of the scholarly contents in the new Italian journal Antares No.8, 2014 — a freely available H.P. Lovecraft special issue…
Editorial: the Copernican revolution of H.P. Lovecraft.
Lovecraft, or the inconsistency of the real. [?]
Lovecraft and the traditions of New England.
The Key and the Mountain: the dream symbolism in Lovecraft.
HPL and the FBI: the anthrax hoaxes [seems to relate to the cases of hoax letters in Syracuse, USA]
Lovecraft, the quest of the genius who came from outside. [?]
The fall of Sarnath and the fall of Rome.
The “doors of perception” and the “cracks in the Great Wall” [possibly on HPL as the forerunner of psychedelic drug literature?]
“The Master of Cosmicism” – an interview with S.T. Joshi.
“The fantastic is the exception, not the rule” – an interview with Giuseppe Lippi.
