Master of Adventure: The Worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs

Blurb

Master of Adventure: The Worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs is a book by Richard A. Lupoff that explores the work of Edgar Rice Burroughs, the creator of Tarzan and author of numerous science fiction, fantasy, and adventure novels. The book is one of the few major works of criticism covering the work of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and it helped create renewed interest in Burroughs's work during the 1960s.
The book was first published in hardcover by Canaveral Press in 1965 under the title Edgar Rice Burroughs: Master of Adventure. A revised and enlarged second edition with a new introduction by the author was published in paperback by Ace Books in 1968, with a third "centennial edition," adding a new introduction by the author and also in paperback, following from the same publisher in 1975. Both Ace editions featured cover art by Frank Frazetta, that of 1968 being recycled from the publisher's earlier edition of Burroughs's The Beasts of Tarzan, and that of 1975 being new.
A fourth edition, again revised and enlarged with new content, was published as a trade paperback by Bison Books in 2005.
