- The Wandering Soul &
- The Lost Poetry
- by William Hope Hodgson
- now available direct from Tartarus
Press
-
- The
Wandering Soul and The Lost
Poetry are the books admirers of William Hope
Hodgson (1877-1918) have been waiting for.
-
- Tragically killed in action at the end of
World War One, Hodgson has acquired a formidable
reputation for his classic weird writings, which include
the monumental novel The Night
Land, and atmospheric tales of maritime
terror fuelled by his early adventures as an apprentice
in the Merchant Navy.
-
- In
The Wandering Soul, Jane Frank has
compiled much previously unpublished and uncollected
material, gleaned from editor and science-fiction
historian Sam Moskowitz's 'Hodgson Archive'. Presented
here are 'Coasts of Adventure', a collection of stories
never before published in book form; Hodgson's 'Ship's
Log' from one of his early sea voyages; photographs of
Hodgson and his family; newly-discovered poetry;
Hodgson's wonderful and historically important sea-going
photographs; factual articles from contemporary
newspapers and journals; and an unpublished slide
lecture, all augmented by Jane Frank's carefully
researched Introduction and a critical appreciation of
the fiction and poetry.
-
- The
wide-ranging elements of the book are melded together by
William Hope Hodgson's uniquely potent imagination and
vigorous approach to life, and their publication can only
enhance our understanding and appreciation of his life
and work.
-
- The
Lost Poetry presents three previously unpublished
collections of William Hope Hodgson's verse, as he
arranged them: Mors Deorum and Other
Poems, Through Enchantments and Other Poems on
Death, and Spume, which together include
forty-three poems never seen before.
-

Wandering Soul is published by Tartarus Press and PS

- Review:
- The
major fantasy small press publication of the present
century so far, in my opinion, is ... The Wandering
Soul, a magnificent compilation of material
from the archive of Wiliam Hope Hodgson. I confess to
being seriously envious ... there was no way that any
effort of mine would have achieved the same
magnificence. - George Locke, Ferret Fantasy
