Fear and (non) fiction: Agrarian anxiety in “The Colour Out of Space”【翻译】

Abstract
This literary and sociological study examines H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Colour Out of Space”
alongside New England agricultural societies in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
as their members faced socio-political change. Anxieties expressed in the short story reflect fears
of communities facing erasure at the hands of a reservoir project. Patterns of historical American
rural communities facing destruction in the name of progress as well as modern communities
facing similar threats show the endurance of Lovecraft’s specific brand of fear.
