Lovecraft's Providence and Adjacent Parts is a book by Henry L. P. Beckwith, Jr. detailing sites in Providence, Rhode Island related to H. P. Lovecraft. It was first published by Donald M. Grant, Publisher, Inc. in 1979 in an edition of 1,000 copies. The book grew out of a bus tour of Providence that Beckwith held as part of the World Fantasy Convention. Sites detailed include a graveyard where Edgar Allan Poe once walked and the inspiration for Lovecraft's story "The Shunned House". A revised and expanded edition was published by Grant in 1986 and again in 1990 for Lovecraft's centennial.
Famous quotes containing the words providence and/or parts:
“A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Three parts of him
Is ours already, and the man entire
Upon the next encounter yields him ours.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
