Hardback. Condition: Good. Jerome Liebling, one of our foremost documentary photographers, has created a remarkable photographic record of the domestic environment of Emily Dickinson. As a fellow resident of Amherst, Massachusetts, Liebling was naturally drawn to the Homestead, the house in which Dickinson lived and worked. But more remarkably, Liebling had the opportunity to document the opening of the Homestead's dark sister, the Evergreens -- an Italianate villa built for Emily's brother, Austin, which until recently was still inhabited but which had been preserved almost as a time capsule of the era of Emily and Austin. Though Dickinson lived as a recluse in the Homestead, she did not live in the utter isolation that has been popularly imagined. Her life was intimately bound up with the affairs of her friends and family, and the domestic situation at the Evergreens inevitably contributed to the environment in which she wrote her poems. Austin Dickinson's troubled marriage and his affair with Mabel Loomis Todd eventually gave rise to the bitter disputes over the disposition of property and the guardianship of Emily's poetic legacy that erupted after his death. In Liebling's evocative photographs, the stark austerity of the Homestead and the decaying opulence of the Evergreens offer new insights into the home life that shaped a poet. Three of the foremost scholars of Dickinson's life and work have contributed essays that explore the history and legacy of these two dwellings. Polly Longsworth, who wrote the definitive account of Austin's affair with Mabel Loomis Todd and who is at work on a major new biography of the poet, reveals some of the information her researches have brought to light -- including a new recognition that Dickinson's anxiety problems were a real and integral condition of her existence, an understanding that demystifies some of the more enigmatic aspects of her life, including her refusal to publish. Barton Levi St. Armand, meanwhile, shares the remarkable and previously untold inside story of Mary Hampson, the last resident of the Evergreens, and of the lives connected with the house over the last century; it was through the efforts of Hampson -- the heir of Austin's daughter -- that the Evergreens was saved from destruction and is now (like the Homestead) open to the public. Finally, Christopher Benfey offers an insightful appreciation of Liebling's photographs and the light they shed on Dickinson and her work; he teases out surprising but convincing affinities between the poems and the art of photography. The heart of this book is the one hundred plus photographs through which Jerome Liebling expands our understanding of Emily Dickinson's world and life. You might say that the three essays are extended captions, says Benfey in his introduction, taking their prompting and provocation from the images.…

Soft cover. Condition: Good. A Rare Cornerstone of Lovecraftian Scholarship. Journey deep into the atmospheric, gothic roots of Providence's master of cosmic horror with this exceptionally scarce piece of early Lovecraft scholarship. Written by esteemed brown University professor Barton Levi St. Armand and published by Harry O. Morris's legendary Silver Scarab Press in 1979, this monograph is a seminal critical work. It meticulously traces H.P. Lovecraft's literary lineage, connecting his modern cosmic dread directly to the 19th-century Decadent movement and the dark aesthetics of Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Academic & Collector Rarity: Silver Scarab Press was a pioneer in early, small-press Lovecraftian fan-scholarship. Its mid-to-late 20th-century chapbooks were printed in strictly limited, low-reproduction numbers, making surviving copies highly prized by collectors of rare weird fiction ephemera. Bibliographic Detail: First Edition / First Printing (1979). Softcover chapbook format. Condition Report: Covers: The original illustrated paper wraps show noticeable rubbing and honest shelf wear consistent with matte cardstock from this era. Graphics remain distinct and clear. Edges & Corners: The edges are rubbed and one corner is bent/creased, showing honest handling but remaining structurally stable. Interior & Binding: The text block is exceptionally clean, crisp, and completely unmarked. Free from any ink underlining, modern highlighter marks, or student marginalia. The original stapled or glued binding remains perfectly tight and secure. An authentic, clean-texted copy of an uncommon milestone in the evolution of modern horror criticism. …
