As a modern mythmaker and one of the bestselling and most reproduced writers in English, Edgar Rice Burroughs deserves richer treatment than he has received, and several tendencies in the study of American cultureparticularly the emphases on empire, masculinity, and popular culturesuggest that he will be more and more prominent in scholarly discourse. This book makes Burroughs accessible to a very broad range of scholars.

I would recommend the correspondence for at least one read but a second or third might provide a much deeper insight into ERB's character. Altogether both men came off very well.

Notă biografică
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 - 1950) was an American writer best known for his creations of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres. Burroughs was in his late 60s and was in Honolulu at the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Despite his age, he applied for and received permission to become a war correspondent, becoming one of the oldest U.S. war correspondents during World War II. This period of his life is mentioned in William Brinkley's bestselling novel Don't Go Near the Water.
