H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) has achieved renown as the leading author of supernatural fiction in the twentieth century. His novels have been translated into a dozen languages, and his work has inspired many contemporary authors in the fields of horror and science fiction, including Stephen King, Peter Straub, Ramsey Campbell, and Philip K. Dick. In Lord of a Visible World, the editors have amassed and arranged the letters of this prolific writer into the story of his life. The volume traces Lovecraft's upbringing in Providence, Rhode Island, his involvement with the pulp magazine Weird Tales, his short-lived marriage, and his later status as the preeminent man of letters in his field. In addition to conveying the candid details of his life, the volume also traces the evolution of his wide-ranging opinions. Lovecraft shows himself to be deeply engaged in the social, political, and cultural milieu of his time. The editors, two of the leading Lovecraft scholars, have meticulously edited the text, transcribing the letters from manuscript sources and supplying explanatory annotations throughout. Lord of a Visible World is of interest to both the general reader and the scholar, presenting for the first time a well-rounded portrait, in his own words, of a writer whose work has fascinated millions of readers.

H. P. Lovecraft nació en 1890 en Providence, Rhode Island, donde vivió la mayor parte de su vida. Escribió muchos ensayos y poemas al principio de su carrera, pero gradualmente se centró en la escritura de historias de terror, después del advenimiento en 1923 de la revista pulp Weird Tales, a la que contribuyó con la mayor parte de su ficción. Sin embargo, su corpus de ficción relativamente pequeño (tres novelas cortas y unos sesenta cuentos) ha ejercido una gran influencia en el trabajo posterior en el campo, y está considerado como el principal autor estadounidense de ficción sobrenatural del siglo XX. H. P. Lovecraft murió en Providence en 1937.

An awesome collection of letters though perhaps not as good as the selected letters series .. it is a first rate intro into the letters of HP Lovecraft. Totally recommended

he wrote some horrible things about ethnic groups early on but later some surprisingly kind things about other races and cultures. Maybe being married to a Jewish woman changed his views?
A lot of surprisingly sentimental stuff fills his recollections of childhood and he was not religious at all and thought spiritualism also was hogwash.
he apparently read astronomy books a lot

It's difficult for me to get beyond the cover of this book -- I mean, GREAT YUGGOTH!!! Is that the fact of a horror author or what?! The eyes, of course, seem to have been tamper'd with -- they do not look natural -- but they do seem like eyes that have peer'd into ye Audient Void! I love this cover image so much that I had an enlarged print of it transferred onto a t-shirt, then I cut out the image and safety-pinned it to the back of one of my punk jackets.

I reproduce ye Entire "A Note on the Text":

"The material in this volume consists of extracts from a few essays by Lovecraft (texts of which are derived from existing manuscripts or early printed appearances) and extracts of many letters. The letters have been secured from two major sources: manuscripts (many of them at the John Hay Library of Brown University and the State Historical Society at Madison, and a few in private hands) and the so-called 'Arkham House transcripts.' The transcripts were prepared by Arkham House for use in editing Lovecraft's SELECTED LETTERS; in many cases the original manuscripts of these letters have not come to light, and in some cases the manuscripts are known to have been destroyed. We have made relatively few alterations in the manuscript letters, occasionally correcting an obvious slip of the pen and writing out Lovecraft's habitual ampersands. We have made more alterations in the transcripts, in cases where there is good reason to believe that the transcriber erred in reading Lovecraft's handwriting.
"Few letters are presented in their entirety. We have not placed ellipses at the beginning or end of letters except in cases where our editing has resulted in a sentence fragment; but we have placed ellipses (enclosed in brackets) where we have made cuts or abridgments within a given extract. All other ellipses are Lovecraft's. Occasionally he used more than the conventional three or four periods in an ellipsis, and we have retained this usage to preserve the style of the original documents. We have also preserved other idiosyncratic usages, such as British spelling variants, archaisms or slang, irregular punctuation, and the like. Headnotes preceding the letters help to identify their contents and supply other necessary information.
"As an epigraph to the volume we have included Lovecraft's 'biographical notice' from Edward J. O'Brien's BEST SHORT STORIES OF 1928. The notice, although unsigned, is clearly by Lovecraft, and encapsulates in a remarkably small space the essence of his life and beliefs. As an appendix we have included Lovecraft's most polished autobiographical essay, "Some Notes on a Nonentity," written in 1933.
"Names cited frequently in the text (chiefly Lovecraft's colleagues or writers who influenced him significantly) are identified in a glossary of names at the end of the volume. Other names, and other points in the text that require elucidation, are identified in the endnotes. We have not felt the need to overburden the text with notes and commentary, and we believe that most of the extracts are self-explanatory.
"Our list of 'Sources' identifies the sources for our texts of the letters. In every chapter, each extract is numbered at its beginning, and the numbers correspond to the sequence of letters (or other works) listed in the 'Sources.' We have appended a list of further reading, supplying information on important editions of works by Lovecraft and significant biographical and critical studies. The literature on Lovecraft has now become immense, and the present list cites only the most significant works."

Thus we see that this single edition presents a number of fascinating items, as well as being a source book leading the reader to many other books. It was reading the five SELECTED LETTERS volumes from Arkham House that really secured in me that passion for HPL that makes one a life-long Lovecraftian. Lovecraft's letters reveal aspects of the man that do not appear in his brilliant weird fiction. This wonderful book reveals Lovecraft as he shew'd himself to his friends and colleagues, and the revelation is very captivating. This is one great book. I had the pb edition, but I was happy to find the hardcover edition here at Amazon, and highly recommend ye hardback edition.

a loveable Lovecraft at last

Who would have thought that the curmudgeonly sage of Providence, Rhode Island, would come across as such a genuinely loveable human being in this small selection from his immense correspondence? An excellent idea, well carried out by the two editors -- highly recommended.
