There was a rather entertaining piece about HPL a couple 
of weeks back in the NYRB. Not exactly a "class analysis," 
but fun. Apparently Lovecraft was, if I may coin a term, 
pamphobic -- he was scared of just about everything. 
It was quite a list and included things like spoons, 
if memory serves. Can't remember now who wrote 
the essay.
