About this title

Synopsis

This is the definitive critical anthology on the writings of Texan Robert Howard, the originator of Sword & Sorcery fantasy and also of Conan The Barbarian. The essays survey Howard's work in fantasy, westerns, poetry and supernatural horror tales.

Review

"...this is the first seriouus attempt to strike a balance by considering Howard as a professional writer. As such, he belongs to a tradition of heroic writing--poetry and prose--within which he is examined carefully and accessibly. The contributors write enthusiastically with knowledge of their subject. None pretends that Howard was uniformly successful in his work, nor do they agree in their assessments. Their arguments are well supported by the evidence they bring from his work.... Valuable, but unobtrusive notes; selective, practical bibliography. A model for other studies, recommended for all libraries with a clientele serious about popular culture." -- Choice
