Fear, Loathing, and Victorian Xenophobia, Ohio State University Press, 2013. Now out of embargo, and in public open access as an OCR-d PDF. Amazon wants $47 for the paper edition, but it’s free here. The Introduction and Afterword might be useful for offering some pointers and frameworks for those writing on the historical context of Lovecraft’s upbringing, in terms of New England’s fears of disease and immigration and how these fears might have mirrored those of Great Britain.
