Review of “Sweet Ermengarde” (1917–1921)
H. P. Lovecraft (writer).
Read in 2017.
A pretty sharp comedy, without any of Lovecraft’s usual retrophilic or supernatural elements. I suppose he was imitating Poe’s bantering stories. The name Ermengarde appears in Poe’s “Eleonora” (1842), which is not a comedy.
