Lovecraft: The Decline of the West," in The Weird Tale, but very quickly became something quite different, to the degree that the two works have little save the title in common.

de Sianne Ngai ...

The purpose of this text is to capture, as far as is possible, the beauty and purpose of the writing in an condensed and readable form.
