HP Lovecraft & JRR Tolkien: world creators in the century of irrationalism

Published on: Last updated on: Written by: Categorized into: Esotericism, Italian Literature, Mito, Characters

Howard Phillips Lovecraft and John Ronald Reuel Tolkien are both sons and active protagonists of the XNUMXth century. It is possible to read their work and activities as an expression of the aspirations, emotional needs, but also of the fears and tensions of the man of the twentieth century, as well as establish, rightly, connections between them and the movements of twentieth-century irrationalism which, on several levels , characterize the escape from the reality of the last century: from pseudoscience to anthroposophy, from esotericism to the revival of the myths of civilizations lost and submerged by the Sea, in the times of Atlantis and Lemuria.
