(The author is a North Staffordshire writer, of several horror novels. Here he asks if, given this literary genre&#8217;s relative neglect in recent decades, it is possible to identify the genre&#8217;s core characteristics and then use these &#8220;to create a work that realizes the form&#8217;s potential to exist as literature&#8221;. Explores the structural development of the Ur-genre as it emerged in the stories of R.E. Howard (influenced by Lovecraft in terms of the horror elements), then surveys de Camp&#8217;s later contributions and distortions, and generally seeks to identify the &#8220;pristine elements&#8221; at the core of the genre&#8217;s once-flourishing form which are still available to creative writers).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/thesis-contents.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/thesis-contents.jpg?w=529\" alt=\"\" width=\"529\" height=\"678\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21014\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Added to Open Lovecraft&#8230; * Philip Emery, &#8220;Revivifying the Ur-text: a reconstruction of sword-&amp;-sorcery as a literary form&#8221;, PhD thesis &hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/2018\/12\/10\/added-to-open-lovecraft-50\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,12,18,33,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21013","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-historical-context","category-lovecraftian-arts","category-new-books","category-reh","category-scholarly-works"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21013","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21013"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21013\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53810,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21013\/revisions\/53810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
