About This Item
West Warwick,: Necronomicon Press,, 1977. Reprint.. The fifth publication from Necronomicon Press, being a reprint of an edition of 50 numbered and signed, which I believe were sold at the First World Fantasy Convention in 1976. THE CONSERVATIVE was Lovecraft's own amateur paper. The value of THE CONSERVATIVE to the HPL enthusiast is best summed up by his friend Mr. Frank Belknap Long, who wrote the foreword to this volume, "The HPL I met and talked with at length on his first visit to New York was an infinitely more mellow HPL than the young man of 25 who could write: "Outside the domain of pure literatureTHE CONSERVATIVE will ever be found an enthusiastic champion of total abstinence, and the domination of the English and Kindred races over the lesser divisions of mankind." And later in his introduction, "In the socio-political realm (his) perceptiveness was blunted by the prevailing mores of the period. But otherwise, and even in that realm, there is a total absence of the flabiness of character which has recently been ascribed to him." Limited to 2500 numbered and signed copies, each signed by the publisher, Marc Michaud.As new.
