Excellent- More about Weird Tales of Modernity: The Ephemerality of the Ordinary in the Stories of Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith and H.P. Lovecraft
In the first half of the 20th century, science fiction, horror, and fantasy writers like H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard worked in the shadows cast by modernists like T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf. They published in commercial pulp magazines like Weird Tales, despite stereotypes about pulp fiction and its writers. These three were serious literary artists who used their fiction to speculate about philosophical questions such as the function of art and the brevity of life.

Serious literary artists like T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf dominate most accounts of the literary art of the first half of the 20th century. However, 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 writers did not publish in artistically ambitious magazines like Dial, The Smart Set, and The Little Review but instead in commercial pulp magazines like Weird Tales. Contrary to the stereotypes about pulp fiction and those who wrote it, these three were serious literary artists who used their fiction to speculate about philosophical questions such as the function of art and the brevity of life.
