:''For the comic book character, see Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt. Peter H. Cannon (b. 1951 in California) is an H. P. Lovecraft scholar and an author of Cthulhu Mythos fiction. Cannon works as an editor for ''Publishers Weekly'', specializing in thrillers and mystery. He lives in New York City and is married with three children. ==Nonfiction== Cannon first made his name as a critic in Lovecraft studies with his graduate theses written in the 1970s - ''A Case for Howard Phillips Lovecraft'' (Honors thesis, Stanford, 1973) and ''Lovecraft's New England'' (M.A. thesis, Brown University, June 1974). ''Lovecraft's Old Men'' appeared in a mailing of the Esoteric Order of Dagon in 1977; another by him, "You Have Been in Providence, I Perceive", published in ''Nyctalops'' (March 1978), studies the influences of Sherlock Holmes upon Lovecraft. Another article re: the Sherlock Holmes/Lovecraft influence, "Parallel Passages in 'The Adventure of the Copper Beeches' and 'The Picture in the House'" was published in ''Lovecraft Studies'' 1, No 1 (Fall 1979). Two essays on Lovecraft appear in S.T. Joshi's critical anthology ''H.P. Lovecraft: Four Decades of Criticism'' (1980), respectively examining the influence of Vathek and of Nathaniel Hawthorne upon Lovecraft. Cannon later published a definitive critical study on Lovecraft, ''H.P. Lovecraft'' (Twayne's US Authors Series No 549, 1989). Cannon's writings on Lovecraft include the books ''The Chronology Out of Time: Dates in the Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft'' and ''Sunset Terrace Imagery in Lovecraft'' (both from Necronomicon Press). He edited ''Lovecraft Remembered'' (Arkham House, 1998), a collection of reminiscences by friends and acquaintances of Lovecraft, and co-edited ''More Annotated Lovecraft'' with S. T. Joshi. He also wrote a personal memoir about another writer in the Lovecraft Circle, ''Long Memories: Recollections of Frank Belknap Long'' (British Fantasy Society, 1997). Occasional critical articles on the weird fiction genre still appear, e.g. ''Better Than Half a Yard I Think: Arthur Machen and Real Tennis'' in ''Faunus: The Journal of the Friends of Arthur Machen'' (Autumn, 2000). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Cannon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
