H.P. Lovecraft, The Call Of Cthulhu - Structure And Sources Of The Story - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the early 20th century weird and horror story writer, H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu", a classic work of cosmic horror and absolutely central to what will later come to be called the Cthulhu mythos. It focuses specifically on the narrative structure of this story, which is largely pieced together from necessarily secondhand accounts of dreams, police raids, encounters with cultists, and even meeting up with Cthulhu itself. We also look at the sources of information the narrator references in the story To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Read The Call of Cthulhu - https://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/cc.aspx
