Eliot, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf loom large in most accounts of the literary art of the first half of the 20th century. And yet, working in the shadows cast by these modernists were science fiction, horror and fantasy writers like "the Weird Tales Three": H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These three writers did not publish in artistically ambitious magazines like The Dial, The Smart Set and The Little Review but instead in commercial pulp magazines like Weird Tales. Contrary to stereotypes about pulp fiction and those who wrote it, the Weird Tales Three were serious literary artists who used their fiction to speculate about philosophical questions, the function of art and the brevity of life. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 187-191) and index. 600 10 $a Howard, Robert E. $q (Robert Ervin), $d 1906-1936 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Smith, Clark Ashton, $d 1893-1961 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Lovecraft, H.
