The Importance of August Derleth as Editor and Publisher IV. Description and Calendar of the Arkham House Archive I. A BRIEF HISTORY OF ARKHAM HOUSE In 1939 a promising Midwestern mainstream novelist and a popular Midwestern writer of pulp fiction co- founded a small press to publish a hardbound book to preserve the writing and perpetuate the memory of their dearly departed friend and mentor, Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Arkham House was officially in business when August Derleth and Donald Wandrei signed the George Banta Publishing Company's "Proposal for Printing" THE OUTSIDER AND OTHERS by H. P. Lovecraft dated 25 August 1939. 1268 copies of this "landmark in the history of weird fiction and American publishing" (Joshi) were printed and most were sold for $5.00 each (then a high list price for a book of fiction). THE OUTSIDER AND OTHERS was the first of three projected volumes of Lovecraft's works Arkham House planned to publish. Derleth and Wandrei (with the considerable assistance of Robert H. Barlow) compiled a second omnibus volume, BEYOND THE WALL OF SLEEP, published in 1943, which was followed by MARGINALIA a lesser so-called "stop-gap" volume published in 1944 to satisfy readers until Lovecraft's letters could be located, transcribed and edited (the envisioned single volume of letters was ultimately expanded to five). In the beginning neither Derleth nor Wandrei intended to publish books by any writer except Lovecraft, but at the suggestion of William C.

  • Misadventures Exhibit Catalog (296.2Kb Application/Pdf)
    AN EXHIBITION OF ITEMS FROM THE SHERLOCK HOLMES COLLECTIONS JUNE 13 – SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 ELMER L. ANDERSEN LIBRARY GALLERY UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA—WEST BANK CAMPUS ST 222 21 AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55455 THE MISADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES This exhibit is inspired by a book of the same title published in 1944 and edited by Ellery Queen. Both book & exhibit celebrate an ever-expanding universe of Holmesian parodies & pastiches fashioned by a broad spectrum of creative people in a variety of formats & languages. We hope you enjoy this “roomy” stroll through a world that began in Victorian England & is now found in cyberspace. Welcome to our little Sherlockian misadventure! ELLERY QUEEN ON PARODY & PASTICHE “As a general rule writers of pastiches retain the sacred and inviolate form Sherlock Holmes and rightfully, since a pastiche is a serious and sincere imitation in the exact manner of the original author. But writers of parodies, which are humorous or satirical take-offs, have no such reverent scruples. They usually strive for the weirdest possible distortions and it must be admitted that many highly ingenious travesties have been conceived. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how much of a purist one is, the name Sherlock Holmes is peculiarly susceptible to the twistings and misshapenings of burlesque-minded authors.” THE “BIG BANG” Since 1887, in almost cosmic fashion, nearly every medium & format has been employed in creating Sherlockian parodies & pastiches. Starting from the original sixty canonical tales, authors & artists of every stripe—detective story writers, famous literary figures, humorists, devotees & fans—created a “host of aliases” for Mr.

  • About This Volume Gary Hoppenstand
    About This Volume Gary Hoppenstand Much has been published over the past several decades about both the pulpPaJa]ine ¿ction oI the s and s and Weird Tales, one of the Post faPous and inÀuential pulps to have been published durinJ this tZodecade period 7he dif¿cult\ of editinJ a voluPe that both brieÀ\ outlines the heiJht of the pulpPaJa]ine era and speci¿call\ examines an important title of this era was in deciding what to exclude, rather than what to include. M\ solution to the dilemma was to provide a timeline of popular ¿c- tion following the Industrial Revolution and leading up to the pulps. I wanted to discuss the cultural and social dynamics of the invention and evolution of popular ¿ction over a period of approximately years in both England and the United States, being sure to cover such topics as social class, education, the rise of the city, and printing technology as important elements of the discussion. I also wanted to cover the historical sequence of working-class ven- ues for popular ¿ction that led to the creation of the pulp maga]ines in general and Weird Tales speci¿cally. It is important for the contempo- rary reader to understand that historical sequence and to realize that publications such as Weird Tales did not spring fully grown onto the newsstand without an extended lineage. Beginning with the story pa- pers and penny dreadfuls and leading up to the dime novels and early decades of the pulps, each iteration of working-class popular ¿ction was essential in leading to the conception of the next iteration.
