T. Joshi prepared revised editions of H. P. Lovecraft’s stories for Arkham House. Basing his work on consultation of manuscripts, early publications, and other sources, Joshi corrected thousands of errors in the existing texts of Lovecraft’s fiction, allowing readers to appreciate the stories as Lovecraft originally wrote them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn the thirty years that have followed, Joshi has continued to do research on the textual accuracy of Lovecraft’s stories, and this comprehensive new edition is the result. For the first time, students and scholars of Lovecraft can see at a glance all the textual variants in all relevant appearances of a story—manuscript, first publication in magazines, and first book publications. The result is an illuminating record of the textual history of the tales, along with how Lovecraft significantly revised his stories after initial publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAlong the way, Joshi has made small but significant revisions to his earlier corrected texts. He has determined, for example, that Lovecraft slightly revised some stories when a reprint of them was scheduled in \u003ci\u003eWeird Tales,\u003c\/i\u003e and he has altered some readings in light of a better understanding of Lovecraft’s customary linguistic usages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe result is the definitive text of Lovecraft’s fiction—an edition that supersedes all those that preceded it and should endure as the standard text of Lovecraft’s stories for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn this first volume, Lovecraft’s earliest stories are printed in chronological order by date of writing. Included are such early triumphs as “Dagon” and “The Outsider,” along with the many tales Lovecraft wrote under the inspiration of Lord Dunsany. The celebrated “Herbert West—Reanimator” and “The Rats in the Walls” show Lovecraft experimenting with longer narratives—a tendency that will culminate in the novelettes and novellas of his final decade of writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e* 6\" x 9\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e* 552 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e* Smyth-sewn binding\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e* Head and tail bands\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e* Ribbon marker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e* Casebound with dust jacket\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e* Black foil stamping over green cloth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e* Newly commissioned art by Karmazid\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e* Offset printed on archival acid-free paper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chiroptera Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49079080714496,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/2182\/8608\/files\/E15E16DD-DFD7-4643-90A9-4DC866755B82.jpg?v=1785082382","url":"https:\/\/chiropterapress.com\/products\/h-p-lovecraft-collected-fiction-complete-set","provider":"Chiroptera Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
