Reply to comment by Glitz-1958 in What urban legends do you find most interesting in literature and books? by VengefulMight

Lovecraft died in 1937. Ehrenreich was born in 1941, English in 1948. I don't think he was quoting them.

The article and its soures make clear how the misapprehension happened.

It's not the article, it's what you wrote:

"Lovecraft had picked up on the ideas of a writer and a biologist, Barbara Ehrenreich and Dierdre English."

There's a true and interesting statement trying to get out in your post though.

Looks like I got them in the wrong order. They picked up on the previous person who wrote for the encyclopedia. Thanks for pointing that out. The show/show notes are much clearer.
