The Spirit of Revision
£48.00

The Spirit of Revision: Lovecraft's Letters to Zealia Brown Reed Bishop examines H.P. Lovecraft's correspondence with one of his revision clients, Zealia Brown Reed Bishop. Through dozens of detailed letters, Lovecraft coached and advised her over the course of several years, and they went on to collaborate on the stories "The Curse of Yig", "The Mound", and "Medusa's Coil". The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society carefully scanned and transcribed the original manuscripts which date from 1927 to 1936. Thirty-six new letters to Mrs. Bishop are presented in sequence with eighteen previously known letters to create the most thorough picture of the correspondence between Lovecraft and Bishop possible. The collection is extensively annotated, and includes pictures of reference documents which Lovecraft recommended to his clients, newspaper clippings, a cartoon by Lovecraft, and much more.

Edited by Sean Branney and Andrew Leman, The Spirit of Revision is published in partnership with the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. First published as a black-and-white, softcover book by the HPLHS, Helios House Press is proud to be publishing a beautiful second edition. Printed in full colour on high-quality paper and presented in a smythe-sewn, lay-flat quarter-bound hardcover binding with gold foil accents, this edition is a must-have for collectors and lovers of fine books alike.
