S. T. Joshi is the author of H. P. Lovecraft: A Life (2004), Gore Vidal: A Comprehensive Bibliography (Scarecrow Press, 2007), and H. L. Mencken: An Annotated Bibliography (Scarecrow Press, 2009). He is the editor of the Studies in Supernatural Literature series for Scarecrow Press.S .T. Joshi's edited collection critical essays on Lord Dunsany is a strong addition to the field of Dunsany studies. Dunsany was a well-known author in his day, but suffered a decline in appeal and accessibility until recent decades. Joshi points out the increasing scholarly interest in Dunsany. . . .[T]his group of essays is a finely balanced addition to the fantasy field.

This volume collects twenty-eight essays, twelve of which date from Dunsany’s life time, the earliest being a 1905 review of his first book; together they constitute an excellent overview of reactions to Dunsany and his works.... Readers with an interest in Dunsany will find this volume very rich and helpful, and those with an interest in Yeats, Lovecraft, Anglo-Irish literature, magical realism, and the history of fantasy will be rewarded as well. The selection is as Joshi claims, a 'representative sampling' (xv). Like many readers of Dunsany, my interests had focused only on certain works, neglecting others; this volume has given me a basis from which to explore and appreciate the rest of his oeuvre.
