If you live in the Northeast U.S., mark your calendar for Brown University\u2019s Pulp Uncovered festival, in Providence, R.I., on March 15-18.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been a spattering of talk about the festival in various pulp newsgroups, but just recently the university has posted details on its new Web site<\/a>. The festival is a project of the Department of American Civilization\u2019s master\u2019s degree program in public humanities.<\/p>\n

Pulp Uncovered<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pulp Uncovered will be a weekend festival \u201ccelebrating the history of pulp fiction magazines and their notorious influence on American popular culture,\u201d according to a university press release. And it will have a decidedly horror bent, thanks to 2007 marking the 70th anniversary of the death of horror pulp writer and Providence native H.P. Lovecraft.<\/p>\n

Among the events scheduled is an exhibit, Pulp Uncovered: How Pulp Magazines Changed America<\/em> at the John Nicholas Brown Center. The exhibit actually runs March 15 through June 1 and features, among other things, pulps containing Lovecraft\u2019s work, original manuscripts and letters that Lovecraft wrote to fans and colleagues.<\/p>\n

There is a film series scheduled for March 15-18. A discussion of Lovecraft\u2019s fascination with outer space will be held at the university\u2019s Ladd Observatory, called \u201cLovecraft at the Ladd\u201d on March 16. Two walking tours are planned: on March 17, \u201cH.P. Lovecraft: Life and Works\u201d; and on March 18, \u201cLovecraft as Preservationist: Providence Architectural Walking Tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

There also will be panel discussions, art talks and various speakers on the pulps, the fictioneers and the artists.<\/p>\n

A complete schedule has not been posted, so check the festival\u2019s Web site<\/a> for details as they become available.<\/p>\n

This is great news. I\u2019m excited to see the pulps being given a serious, scholarly look. I feel like pulp magazines are often considered American literature\u2019s redheaded stepchild, and impolitely hurried off to the basement when guests arrive. So any sort of positive attention outside the pulp community is terrific.<\/p>\n
