S.T. Joshi’s blog has updated, and he notes the title of the forthcoming Long letters, A Sense of Proportion: The Letters of H.P. Lovecraft and Frank Belknap Long, in one volume due later in 2024. He and Schultz are also considering a Letters to H.P. Lovecraft volume, which I would assume would be ‘selected’ rather than everything known? Since the Price letters would take up a volume on their own, and the whole lot might have to be two volumes?
Joshi also notes “I continue to work (with David E. Schultz) on Letters to R. H. Barlow“. Which I guess will then replace O Fortunate Floridian? (Update: No it won’t: it’s letters to Barlow from people other than Lovecraft).
Joshi anticipates that the Lovecraft Annual and a number of books of Lovecraft scholarship will appear toward the time of the NecronomiCon / Armitage Symposium in Providence, later in 2024. See his full 12th April 2024 blog post for the details.
No, LETTERS TO R. H. BARLOW is “letters to Barlow by other people than Lovecraft”. If you read further, you will find that “Recently I discovered some letters from Kenneth Sterling to Barlow. Both writers at the time (late 1930s) were fervent communists, but Sterling also discusses Lovecraft, Derleth, and other topics of interest. Barlow also received numerous letters from one George Tupper, about whom I know nothing, but his correspondence seems of unusual interest.”
Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification.
