Consequently, it is ... female sexuality to which the stories categorically deny a vital and positive role.... Also, Lovecraft ... in a private letter (to one of the several female intellectuals he befriended) precludes at least conscious misogyny (as does, indeed, his private life otherwise).

there.
KvP:
I think the comparison between King and Lovecraft is valid (I actually think King is at his best when aping Lovecraft). Both aren't terribly good writers, but they spin good yarns, so to speak, and they've made engaging mythologies. King will certainly leave a mark on popular fiction, but he ain't Vonnegut or Garcia Marquez. I don't think he has to be, though.
KharBevNor:
Not Robert Boyle, do you know what 'precludes' means?
Tom:
My apologies, I wonder if any current fantasy/sci-fi writers will be remembered in a Tolkienesque manner a hundred years from now?
If so, i reckon it would be Frank Herbert or Robert Jordan.
Herbet, because of how the Dune Mythos is being handled by his descendants
Jordan because The Wheel of Time is unbelievable long and 'epic'.
