About This Item
New York: Hippocampus Press, 2010. First Edition. Hardcover. Large octavo. Two Volumes. 1148 total pages. Bound in black cloth with silver spine titles. In original pictorial dust jackets. Illustrated with b&w photographs and illustrations. A near fine set in like dust jackets. Note: Photos show some camera glare from the mylar dust jacket covers. S. T. Joshi s award-winning biography H. P. Lovecraft: A Life (1996) provided the most detailed portrait of the life, work, and thought of the dreamer from Providence ever published. But that edition was in fact abridged from Joshi's original manuscript, and this expanded and updated edition restores the 150,000 words that Joshi omitted and, in addition, updates the texts with new findings from Lovecraft research since Joshi's original biography was issued. This is a monumental work and will remain until the end of time, the most definitive work on Lovecraft's life.
