A deeper look into the adventure epics of the 10s, 20s, and 30s and their relationship to "The Call of Cthulhu" and Lovecraft's other adventure and exploration stories like "At The Mountains of Madness" and "The Shadow Out of Time." There is a literary tradition of the isolated jungle populated by natives and prehistoric giant animals, and hidden civilizations with dreadful secrets, like Pellucidar, Shangri-La, and The Land that Time Forgot. Where does Lovecraft draw inspiration from these epics, and where does he expand and reconfigure the ideas to fit his literary world view?
