An item of news I missed in summer 2020, the release of a new issue of Studi Lovecraftiani<\/a><\/em>, the leading Italian Lovecraft journal.\n<\/p>\n

\"studi\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No. 18 has… <\/p>\n

* Cover painting by Matteo Bocci.<\/p>\n

* A homage to the writer and friend Elvezio Sciallis, a narrator and story writer.<\/p>\n

* Renzo Giorgetti looks at the symbolic and mythological basis of R’lyeh.<\/p>\n

\n* Fabio Calabrese proposes a “fourth genre” of the fantastic: Lovecraftian fiction. Thus widening the field of fantastic literature.\n<\/p>\n

* Sandro Mezzetto on “some sources of Lovecraft’s fiction”.<\/p>\n

* Christian Lamberti on the Randolph Carter cycle.<\/p>\n

* Davide Rossato surveys John Carpenter’s Lovecraftian cinema. <\/p>\n

\n* A translation of an early “evaluation” on Lovecraft by Joseph Payne Brennan, being one of the first items of literary criticism of the fiction\n<\/p>\n

\n* A translation of “HPL and the myths of scientific materialism” by John A. Buettner.\n<\/p>\n

\n* Lovecraft on Poe’s places… “a full-bodied unpublished work by Lovecraft himself, translated here for the first time, where the Dreamer talks to us about the homes and places of Poe.”\n<\/p>\n

\n

\nAnd there’s more. No. 17, too. Since somehow it appears that Tentaclii<\/em> also missed Studi Lovecraftiani<\/em><\/a> in June 2019.  Following hot on the heels of a (perhaps late) January 2019 issue, which may be why I wasn\u2019t looking for a summer issue in 2019.<\/p>\n

\nNo. 17 seems to have been about two-thirds a Ramsey Campbell \/ fiction \/ poetry issue by the look of it. But it also had unspecified… “essays and articles by Stefano Lazzarin, Renzo Giorgetti, Miranda Gurzo, Riccardo Rosati and others.”\n<\/p>\n

A little further digging reveals some details on these items of non-fiction…<\/p>\n

\n* Riccardo Rosati on HPL’s political thought, apparently comparing him with Evola.\n<\/p>\n

\n* Stefano Lazzarin on ‘The Veiled Face: hyperbole and reticence in Howard Phillips Lovecraft’.\n<\/p>\n

\n* Renzo Giorgetti on the importance of dreams as one of HPL’s sources of inspiration.\n<\/p>\n

\n* Miranda Gurzo who sees “the mythology of Cthulhu as the symbol of the crisis of the modern world”, and suggests HPL’s possible sources in biblical Apocalypse imagery, re: The Book of Job.\n<\/p>\n

\n* An examination of “Beyond The Wall Of Sleep”, which sounds like an English essay translated to Italian?\n<\/p>\n

* A newly-translated 1937 poem by Lovecraft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
