was a vast-stage of old American values
Lovecraft's family was very well to do
and I believe they consider themselves to be of the Providence aristocracy
the Phillips line goes back very far in Providence history all the way
as early as the late 17th century
the Lovecraft side originates in England, and you could trace that all the way back to about the 15th century
there were Lovecrafts or Lovecrofts in Devon
he was a truly, almost a "Mayflower"specimen
preserved in the formaldehyde of New England you know
and he was an Anglophile that definitely did not get laid much you know
and the guy that was an alien amongst us, in the sense that he was not a very masculine child
after Winfield's death from syphilis on July 19th 1898
young Howard was all Suzie Lovecraft had left
she mothered her child incessantly
so much so, that she was known to make friends stoop when walking hand-in-hand with her son
for fear his arm would be pull from its socket
despite her over attention
Suzie Lovecraft's near puritanical views restrained any physical affections toward her son
Lovecraft would later admit to his only wife
that this form of mothering was a devastating to him
his grandfather Whipple Phillips, was a very impressive industrialist
Lovecraft remembers Whipple telling him oral ghost stories
at the age of 4 or 5
he tutored him in a number of other ways, trying to take an interest into his education
in the attic was an immense library presumably collected by his grandfather
and Lovecraft went up there as a boy with a candle secretly and started reading these old books
and fell in love with the 18th century
Lovecraft is more than a product of his time
he is a product of a couple of centuries earlier, so he was born out of time
one of the important things for the 18th century was the code of a gentleman
