	August Derleth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Derleth wrote all throughout his four years at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and received a B.A. in 1930.
		Derleth codified the Mythos to bring it more in line with his own Christian conception of the battle between good and evil and, as other authors had done before him, added new gods and creatures to the stories.
		Derleth was married April 6, 1953 to Sandra Evelyn Winters, and they were divorced six years later in 1959.

	Cthulhu Mythos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Derleth also introduced a good versus evil dichotomy into the mythos that was contrary to the dark, nihilistic vision of Lovecraft and his immediate circle.
		Derleth had his own take on the mythos and tried to make it conform to his own Catholic values and dualism.
		Derleth also connected the deities of the mythos to the four elements of air, earth, fire, and water.

	August Derleth - Wisconsin's Historical Perspective
		August Derleth, who was born in 1909, not only decided early to be a writer but also fulfilled his ambition early, publishing his first story at the age of fifteen.
		Derleth discovered this after he wrote the first of these two novels and, because he had described in it the first wife's death, he had to invent a character to be the second child's mother.
		Derleth makes evident the signs of future marital disaster: the youthful Kate's sauciness the first time he sees her, her postponement of the marriage for a year - until she can see whether or not he will be re-elected governor - warnings from several people, including her father, about her willfulness and her extravagance.

		And as it has taken the nearly thirty years since August Derleth's death in 1971 for a full-length biography to appear, this book is one which comes with high expectations.
		In Derleth's creative life and literary legacy, the sex of the person that Derleth was in a relationship with turns out not to be relevant.
		But whether presenting Derleth as a sort of case study of repressed and dishonest sexuality, as a large part of a biography is another question.

	August Derleth: Myth-Maker
		Most of Derleth's detractors, having reached this point, are content to dismiss both of Derleth's developments as sad corruptions, and then move on.
		Derleth's identification of the Old Ones with the elements of nature implies that they are like Baal and Astarte, and that the struggle of humanity against them is like that of Elijah against the prophets of Baal.
		Derleth's is an ecological battle that humanity stands a chance of winning.

	NIGHTSCAPES - AN HPL SAMPLER - NONFICTION BY RICHARD L. TIERNEY
		Derleth's attitude on the other hand was largely static; he appreciated Lovecraft's concepts but cared less for developing them than for systematizing them.
		Derleth maintains that this all a parallel of the "Christian Mythos," with its bad against good, and with humanity the focal point of it all.
		I grant Derleth the right to his view of the cosmos, but the sad thing is that he has made all too many believe that his view is that of Lovecraft also.

Derleth (1909-1971) founded the publishing firm of Arkham House, at first to publish in hardcover books the stories of Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) whom Derleth shared a friendship via correspondence for over ten years until Lovecraft's death.

		What this meant was that Derleth would take a sentence or two from Lovecraft's writing, often a quote from the Necronomicon or a description, and bill these as the writing of both of them.
		While it is possible to go some distance with these ideas, Derleth does not; he is bound by Lovecraft's style and does not treat the plots with any imagination.
		Derleth's work in publishing the work of Lovecraft and other Mythos authors was invaluable, and credit is due him for this; however, the reader wishes Derleth had stuck to publishing what Lovecraft really wrote, not expanding his story credits.

		Derleth imitates Lovecraft's verbose writing style so poorly that it reads almost as a parody rather than the well intentioned expansion of the Mythos that was intended.
		Derleth also goes into such detail, leaves so little to the imagination, and is so repetitive in his narratives, that it robs the stories of any real suspense, foreboding, or fear.
		Derleth also attempted to continue Lovecraft's tradition of horror by writing new tales himself, many created from one or two sentences of Lovecraft's.
