| 説明 | Lovecraft’s final home from May 1933 until March 10, 1937, when he was moved to the Jane Brown Memorial Hospital in Providence; where he died of cancer of the small intestine and kidney disease on March 15, 1937.In H. P. Lovecraft's, "The Haunter of the Dark," the protagonist Robert Blake (a thinly disguised Robert Bloch, who went on to achieve fame as the author of the novel "Psycho") lived in this house in its original 66 College Street location as described below prior to his untimely demise: "Young Blake returned to Providence in the winter of 1934-5, taking the upper floor of a venerable dwelling in a grassy court off College Street—on the crest of the great eastward hill near the Brown University campus and behind the marble John Hay Library. It was a cosy and fascinating place, in a little garden oasis of village-like antiquity where huge, friendly cats sunned themselves atop a convenient shed. The square Georgian house had a monitor roof, classic doorway with fan carving, small-paned windows, and all the other earmarks of early nineteenth century workmanship." And, "Blake's study, a large southwest chamber, overlooked the front garden on one side, while its west windows—before one of which he had his desk—faced off from the brow of the hill and commanded a splendid view of the lower town's outspread roofs and of the mystical sunsets that flamed behind them." And, "His studio was in a north attic room, where the panes of the monitor roof furnished admirable lighting."This is where Lovecraft wrote:1933 "The Thing on the Doorstep"1933 The revised, "Supernatural Horror in Literature"1934-35 "The Shadow Out of Time"1935 "The Haunter of the Dark"Photo taken by Will Hart on 20-August-1990.See and hear more Lovecraftian Items at the sister sites to these Flickr collections at:cthulhuwho1.comandwww.youtube.com/user/CthulhuWho1 |
