1948 Winfield Scott Lecture on Lovecraft

(class of 1931)

"H P. Lovecraft, who used to live in the house in back of the John Hay and the
Phi Delt House, has emerged as a literary figure of importance in recent years. Al-
though he died in 1937, the Lovecraft legend has outstripped the weird stories
that he wrote. One of those most re- sponsible for the revival of interest in this
provocative genius is Winfield Townley Scott, poet and literary editor of the
Providence Journal. He was a recent speaker at the Providence Art Club on "The Excavation of H. P. Lovecraft."
