4, 1971) was an American writer and anthologist. He was the first book publisher of the writings of <a href="/wiki/H._P._Lovecraft" title="H. P. Lovecraft">H. P. Lovecraft</a>. He made contributions to the <a href="/wiki/Cthulhu_Mythos" title="Cthulhu Mythos">Cthulhu Mythos</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Lovecraftian_horror" title="Lovecraftian horror">cosmic horror</a> genre and helped found the publisher <a href="/wiki/Arkham_House" title="Arkham House">Arkham House</a> (which did much to bring supernatural fiction into print in hardcover in the US that had only been readily available in the UK). Derleth was also a leading American <a href="/wiki/American_literary_regionalism" title="American literary regionalism">regional writer</a> of his day, as well as prolific in several other genres, including <a href="/wiki/Historical_fiction" title="Historical fiction">historical fiction</a>, <a href="/wiki/Poetry" title="Poetry">poetry</a>, <a href="/wiki/Detective_fiction" title="Detective fiction">detective fiction</a>, <a href="/wiki/Science_fiction" title="Science fiction">science fiction</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Biography" title="Biography">biography</a>.

Derleth intended this series to comprise up to 50 novels telling the projected life-story of the region from the 19th century onwards, with analogies to <a href="/wiki/Balzac" class="mw-redirect" title="Balzac">Balzac</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/La_Com%C3%A9die_humaine" title="La Comédie humaine">Human Comedy</a></i> and <a href="/wiki/Proust" class="mw-redirect" title="Proust">Proust</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/Remembrance_of_Things_Past" class="mw-redirect" title="Remembrance of Things Past">Remembrance of Things Past</a></i>. </p><p>This, and other early work by Derleth, made him a well-known figure among the regional literary figures of his time: early <a href="/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize" title="Pulitzer Prize">Pulitzer Prize</a> winners <a href="/wiki/Hamlin_Garland" title="Hamlin Garland">Hamlin Garland</a> and <a href="/wiki/Zona_Gale" title="Zona Gale">Zona Gale</a>, as well as Sinclair Lewis, the last both an admirer and critic of Derleth. </p><p>As Edward Wagenknecht wrote in <i>Cavalcade of the American Novel</i>, "What Mr. Derleth has that is lacking...in modern novelists generally, is a country. He belongs. He writes of a land and a people that are bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. In his fictional world, there is a unity much deeper and more fundamental than anything that can be conferred by an ideology. It is clear, too, that he did not get the best, and most fictionally useful, part of his background material from research in the library; like Scott, in his Border novels, he gives, rather, the impression of having drunk it in with his mother's milk." </p><p>Jim Stephens, editor of <i>An August Derleth Reader</i>, (1992), argues: "what Derleth accomplished....was to gather a Wisconsin mythos which gave respect to the ancient fundament of our contemporary life." </p><p>The author inaugurated the <i>Sac Prairie Saga</i> with four novellas comprising <i>Place of Hawks</i>, published by Loring & Mussey in 1935. At publication, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Detroit_News" title="The Detroit News">The Detroit News</a></i> wrote: "Certainly with this book Mr. Derleth may be added to the American writers of distinction."<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Derleth's first novel, <i>Still is the Summer Night</i>, was published two years later by the famous <a href="/wiki/Charles_Scribner%27s_Sons" title="Charles Scribner's Sons">Charles Scribners'</a> editor <a href="/wiki/Maxwell_Perkins" title="Maxwell Perkins">Maxwell Perkins</a>, and was the second in his Sac Prairie Saga. </p><p><i>Village Year</i>, the first in a series of journals – meditations on nature, Midwestern village American life, and more – was published in 1941 to praise from <i><a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times_Book_Review" title="The New York Times Book Review">The New York Times Book Review</a></i>: "A book of instant sensitive responsiveness...recreates its scene with acuteness and beauty, and makes an unusual contribution to the Americana of the present day." The <i><a href="/wiki/New_York_Herald_Tribune" title="New York Herald Tribune">New York Herald Tribune</a></i> observed that "Derleth...deepens the value of his village setting by presenting in full the enduring natural background; with the people projected against this, the writing comes to have the quality of an old Flemish picture, humanity lively and amusing and loveable in the foreground and nature magnificent beyond." James Grey, writing in the <i><a href="/wiki/St._Louis_Dispatch" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Louis Dispatch">St. Louis Dispatch</a></i> concluded, "Derleth has achieved a kind of prose equivalent of the <i>Spoon River Anthology</i>." </p><p>In the same year, <i>Evening in Spring</i> was published by Charles Scribners & Sons. This work Derleth considered among his finest. What <i><a href="/wiki/The_Milwaukee_Journal" class="mw-redirect" title="The Milwaukee Journal">The Milwaukee Journal</a></i> called "this beautiful little love story", is an autobiographical novel of first love beset by small-town religious bigotry. The work received critical praise: <i><a href="/wiki/The_New_Yorker" title="The New Yorker">The New Yorker</a></i> considered it a story told "with tenderness and charm", while the <i>Chicago Tribune</i> concluded: "It's as though he turned back the pages of an old diary and told, with rekindled emotion, of the pangs of pain and the sharp, clear sweetness of a boy's first love." Helen Constance White, wrote in <i>The Capital Times</i> that it was "...the best articulated, the most fully disciplined of his stories." </p><p>These were followed in 1943 with <i>Shadow of Night</i>, a Scribners' novel of which <i><a href="/wiki/The_Chicago_Sun" class="mw-redirect" title="The Chicago Sun">The Chicago Sun</a></i> wrote: "Structurally it has the perfection of a carved jewel...A <a href="/wiki/Psychological_novel" class="mw-redirect" title="Psychological novel">psychological novel</a> of the first order, and an adventure tale that is unique and inspiriting." </p><p>In November 1945, however, Derleth's work was attacked by his one-time admirer and mentor, Sinclair Lewis. Writing in <i><a href="/wiki/Esquire_(magazine)" title="Esquire (magazine)">Esquire</a></i>, Lewis observed, "It is a proof of Mr. Derleth's merit that he makes one want to make the journey and see his particular Avalon: The <a href="/wiki/Wisconsin_River" title="Wisconsin River">Wisconsin River</a> shining among its islands, and the castles of Baron Pierneau and Hercules Dousman. He is a champion and a justification of regionalism. Yet he is also a burly, bounding, bustling, self-confident, opinionated, and highly-sweatered young man with faults so grievous that a melancholy perusal of them may be of more value to apprentices than a study of his serious virtues. If he could ever be persuaded that he isn't half as good as he thinks he is, if he would learn the art of sitting still and using a blue pencil, he might become twice as good as he thinks he is – which would about rank him with Homer." Derleth good-humoredly reprinted the criticism along with a photograph of himself sans sweater, on the back cover of his 1948 country journal: <i>Village Daybook</i>. </p><p>A lighter side to the <i>Sac Prairie Saga</i> is a series of quasi-autobiographical short stories known as the "Gus Elker Stories", amusing tales of country life that <a href="/wiki/Peter_Ruber" title="Peter Ruber">Peter Ruber</a>, Derleth's last editor, said were "...models of construction and...fused with some of the most memorable characters in American literature." Most were written between 1934 and the late 1940s, though the last, "Tail of the Dog", was published in 1959 and won the <i>Scholastic Magazine</i> short story award for the year. The series was collected and republished in <i>Country Matters</i> in 1996. </p><p><i>Walden West</i>, published in 1961, is considered by many Derleth's finest work. This prose meditation is built out of the same fundamental material as the series of Sac Prairie journals, but is organized around three themes: "the persistence of memory...the sounds and odors of the country...and Thoreau's observation that the 'mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.<span style="padding-right:.15em;">'</span>" A blend of nature writing, philosophic musings, and careful observation of the people and place of "Sac Prairie". Of this work, George Vukelich, author of "North Country Notebook", writes: "Derleth's <i>Walden West</i> is...the equal of Sherwood Anderson's <i>Winesburg,Ohio</i>, Thornton Wilder's <i>Our Town</i>, and Edgar Lee Masters' <i>Spoon River Anthology</i>." This was followed eight years later by <i>Return to Walden West</i>, a work of similar quality, but with a more noticeable environmentalist edge to the writing, notes critic <a href="/wiki/Norbert_Blei" title="Norbert Blei">Norbert Blei</a>. </p><p>A close literary relative of the <i>Sac Prairie Saga</i> was Derleth's <i>Wisconsin Saga</i>, which comprises several historical novels. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Detective_fiction_and_"Solar_Pons""><span id="Detective_fiction_and_.22Solar_Pons.22"></span>Detective fiction and "Solar Pons"</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=August_Derleth&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Detective fiction and "Solar Pons""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Detective fiction represented another substantial body of Derleth's work.

The series was greatly admired by such notable writers and critics of mystery and detective fiction as <a href="/wiki/Ellery_Queen" title="Ellery Queen">Ellery Queen</a> (<a href="/wiki/Frederic_Dannay" class="mw-redirect" title="Frederic Dannay">Frederic Dannay</a>), <a href="/wiki/Anthony_Boucher" title="Anthony Boucher">Anthony Boucher</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vincent_Starrett" title="Vincent Starrett">Vincent Starrett</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Howard_Haycraft" title="Howard Haycraft">Howard Haycraft</a>. </p><p>In his 1944 volume <i><a href="/wiki/The_Misadventures_of_Sherlock_Holmes" title="The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes">The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes</a></i>, Ellery Queen wrote of Derleth's "The Norcross Riddle", an early Pons story: "How many budding authors, not even old enough to vote, could have captured the spirit and atmosphere with as much fidelity?" Queen adds, "his choice of the euphonic Solar Pons is an appealing addition to the fascinating lore of Sherlockian nomenclature." Vincent Starrett, in his foreword to the 1964 edition of <i>The Casebook of Solar Pons</i>, wrote that the series is "as sparkling a galaxy of Sherlockian pastiches as we have had since the canonical entertainments came to an end." </p><p>Despite close similarities to Doyle's creation, Pons lived in the post-World War I era, in the decades of the 1920s and 1930s. Though Derleth never wrote a Pons novel to equal <i>The Hound of the Baskervilles</i>, editor Peter Ruber wrote that "Derleth" produced more than a few Solar Pons stories almost as good as Sir Arthur's, and many that had better plot construction." </p><p>Although these stories were a form of diversion for Derleth, Ruber, who edited <i><a href="/wiki/The_Original_Text_Solar_Pons_Omnibus_Edition" title="The Original Text Solar Pons Omnibus Edition">The Original Text Solar Pons Omnibus Edition</a></i> (2000), argued: "Because the stories were generally of such high quality, they ought to be assessed on their own merits as a unique contribution in the annals of mystery fiction, rather than suffering comparison as one of the endless imitators of Sherlock Holmes." </p><p>Some of the stories were self-published, through a new imprint called "<a href="/wiki/Mycroft_%26_Moran" title="Mycroft & Moran">Mycroft & Moran</a>", an appellation of humorous significance to Holmesian scholars. For approximately a decade, an active supporting group was the Praed Street Irregulars, patterned after the <a href="/wiki/The_Baker_Street_Irregulars" title="The Baker Street Irregulars">Baker Street Irregulars</a>. </p><p>In 1946, Conan Doyle's two sons made some attempts to force Derleth to cease publishing the Solar Pons series, but the efforts were unsuccessful, and were eventually withdrawn.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Derleth's mystery and detective fiction also included a series of works set in Sac Prairie and featuring Judge Peck as the central character. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Youth_and_children's_fiction"><span id="Youth_and_children.27s_fiction"></span>Youth and children's fiction</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=August_Derleth&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Youth and children's fiction"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Derleth wrote many and varied children's works, including biographies meant to introduce younger readers to explorer <a href="/wiki/Jacques_Marquette" title="Jacques Marquette">Jacques Marquette</a>, as well as <a href="/wiki/Ralph_Waldo_Emerson" title="Ralph Waldo Emerson">Ralph Waldo Emerson</a> and <a href="/wiki/Henry_David_Thoreau" title="Henry David Thoreau">Henry David Thoreau</a>.

Robert Hood, writing in the <i>New York Times</i> said: "Steve and Sim, the major characters, are twentieth-century cousins of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer; Derleth's minor characters, little gems of comic drawing." The first novel in the series, <i>The Moon Tenders</i>, does, in fact, involve a rafting adventure down the <a href="/wiki/Wisconsin_River" title="Wisconsin River">Wisconsin River</a>, which led regional writer <a href="/wiki/Jesse_Stuart" title="Jesse Stuart">Jesse Stuart</a> to suggest the novel was one that "older people might read to recapture the spirit and dream of youth."

Lovecraft</a> – when Lovecraft wrote about "le Comte d'Erlette" in <a href="/wiki/H._P._Lovecraft_bibliography" title="H. P. Lovecraft bibliography">his fiction</a>, it was in homage to Derleth. Derleth invented the term "Cthulhu Mythos" to describe the fictional universe depicted in the series of stories shared by Lovecraft and other writers in his circle. </p><p>When Lovecraft died in 1937, Derleth and <a href="/wiki/Donald_Wandrei" title="Donald Wandrei">Donald Wandrei</a> assembled a collection of Lovecraft's stories and tried to get them published. Existing publishers showed little interest, so Derleth and Wandrei founded <a href="/wiki/Arkham_House" title="Arkham House">Arkham House</a> in 1939 for that purpose. The name of the company derived from Lovecraft's fictional town of <a href="/wiki/Arkham" title="Arkham">Arkham</a>, <a href="/wiki/Massachusetts" title="Massachusetts">Massachusetts</a>, which features in many of his stories. In 1939, Arkham House published <i><a href="/wiki/The_Outsider_and_Others" title="The Outsider and Others">The Outsider and Others</a></i>, a huge collection that contained most of Lovecraft's known short stories. Derleth and Wandrei soon expanded Arkham House and began a regular publishing schedule after its second book, <i><a href="/wiki/Someone_in_the_Dark" title="Someone in the Dark">Someone in the Dark</a></i>, a collection of some of Derleth's own horror stories, was published in 1941. </p><p>Following Lovecraft's death, Derleth wrote a number of stories based on fragments and notes left by Lovecraft. These were published in <i>Weird Tales</i> and later in book form, under the byline "H. P. Lovecraft and August Derleth", with Derleth calling himself a "posthumous collaborator". This practice has raised objections in some quarters that Derleth simply used Lovecraft's name to market what was essentially his own fiction; <a href="/wiki/S._T._Joshi" title="S. T. Joshi">S. T. Joshi</a> refers to the "posthumous collaborations" as marking the beginning of "perhaps the most disreputable phase of Derleth's activities".<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Dirk_W._Mosig" title="Dirk W.

However, <a href="/wiki/Robert_M._Price" title="Robert M. Price">Robert M. Price</a> points out that while Derleth's tales are distinct from Lovecraft's in their use of hope and his depiction of a struggle between good and evil, nevertheless the basis of Derleth's systemization are found in Lovecraft. He also suggests that the differences can be overstated: </p> <blockquote> <p>Derleth <i>was</i> more optimistic than Lovecraft in his conception of the Mythos, but we are dealing with a difference more of degree than kind. There are indeed tales wherein Derleth's protagonists get off scot-free (like "The Shadow in the Attic", "Witches' Hollow", or "The Shuttered Room"), but often the hero is doomed (e.g., "The House in the Valley", "The Peabody Heritage", "Something in Wood"), as in Lovecraft. And it must be remembered that an occasional Lovecraftian hero does manage to overcome the odds, e.g., in "The Horror in the Museum", "The Shunned House", and 'The Case of Charles Dexter Ward'.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> </blockquote> <p>Derleth also treated Lovecraft's <a href="/wiki/Cthulhu_Mythos_deities" title="Cthulhu Mythos deities">Great Old Ones</a> as representatives of elemental forces, creating new fictional entities to flesh out this framework. </p><p>Such debates aside, Derleth's founding of Arkham House and his successful effort to rescue Lovecraft from literary oblivion are widely acknowledged by practitioners in the horror field as seminal events in the field. For instance, <a href="/wiki/Ramsey_Campbell" title="Ramsey Campbell">Ramsey Campbell</a> has acknowledged Derleth's encouragement and guidance during the early part of his own writing career,<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and <a href="/wiki/Kirby_McCauley" title="Kirby McCauley">Kirby McCauley</a> has cited Derleth and Arkham House as an inspiration for his own anthology <i><a href="/wiki/Dark_Forces_(book)" title="Dark Forces (book)">Dark Forces</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Arkham House and Derleth published <i><a href="/wiki/Dark_Carnival_(short_story_collection)" title="Dark Carnival (short story collection)">Dark Carnival</a></i>, the first book by <a href="/wiki/Ray_Bradbury" title="Ray Bradbury">Ray Bradbury</a>, as well. <a href="/wiki/Brian_Lumley" title="Brian Lumley">Brian Lumley</a> cites the importance of Derleth to his own Lovecraftian work, and contends in a 2009 introduction to Derleth's work that he was "...one of the first, finest, and most discerning editors and publishers of macabre fiction." </p><p>Important as was Derleth's work to rescue H.P. Lovecraft from literary obscurity at the time of Lovecraft's death, Derleth also built a body of horror and spectral fiction of his own; still frequently anthologized. The best of this work, recently reprinted in four volumes of short stories – most of which were originally published in <i>Weird Tales</i>, illustrates Derleth's original abilities in the genre. While Derleth considered his work in this genre less important than his most serious literary efforts, the compilers of these four anthologies, including Ramsey Campbell, note that the stories still resonate after more than 50 years. </p><p>In 2009, <a href="/wiki/The_Library_of_America" class="mw-redirect" title="The Library of America">The Library of America</a> selected Derleth's story <i>The Panelled Room</i> for inclusion in its two-century retrospective of American Fantastic Tales. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Other_works">Other works</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=August_Derleth&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Other works"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Derleth also wrote many historical novels, as part of both the <i>Sac Prairie Saga</i> and the <i>Wisconsin Saga</i>. He also wrote history; arguably most notable among these was <i>The Wisconsin: River of a Thousand Isles</i>, published in 1942. The work was one in a series entitled "The Rivers of America", conceived by writer <a href="/wiki/Constance_Lindsay_Skinner" title="Constance Lindsay Skinner">Constance Lindsay Skinner</a> during the <a href="/wiki/Great_Depression" title="Great Depression">Great Depression</a> as a series that would connect Americans to their heritage through the history of the great rivers of the nation. Skinner wanted the series to be written by artists, not academicians. Derleth, while not a trained historian, was, according to former Wisconsin state historian <a href="/wiki/William_F._Thompson" title="William F. Thompson">William F. Thompson</a>, "...a very competent regional historian who based his historical writing upon research in the primary documents and who regularly sought the help of professionals... ." In the foreword to the 1985 reissue of the work by <a href="/wiki/The_University_of_Wisconsin_Press" class="mw-redirect" title="The University of Wisconsin Press">The University of Wisconsin Press</a>, Thompson concluded: "No other writer, of whatever background or training, knew and understood his particular 'corner of the earth' better than August Derleth." </p><p>Additionally, Derleth wrote a number of volumes of poetry. Three of his collections – <i>Rind of Earth</i> (1942), <i>Selected Poems</i> (1944), and <i>The Edge of Night</i> (1945) – were published by the <a href="/wiki/Decker_Press" title="Decker Press">Decker Press</a>, which also printed the work of other Midwestern poets such as <a href="/wiki/Edgar_Lee_Masters" title="Edgar Lee Masters">Edgar Lee Masters</a>. </p><p>Derleth was also the
