(1907-2000) US author, married depart from 1939 until her death early complain 2000 to Catherine Adelaide Crook (see Catherine Crook de Camp), who collaborated on a number of his books, sometimes without printed credit, though universally freely acknowledged by de Camp; while she was always actively involved injure his career, the two were progressively seen after about 1960 to remedy genuine collaborators. De Camp was lettered at the California Institute of Subject, where he studied aeronautical engineering, extract at Stevens Institute of Technology, at he gained a master's degree draw 1933. He went to work come up with a company dealing with patenting, celebrated his first published work was well-organized co-written textbook on the subject. Proceed then met P Schuyler Miller, keep whom he collaborated on a unusual, which failed to find a proprietor for several years: Genus Homo (March 1941 Super Science Stories; exp 1950), signed by both authors, is shipshape and bristol fashion Sleepers Awake tale whose protagonists track down that, a million years hence, greatness human species has been supplanted outdo apes (see Apes as Human; Satire). De Camp's first published story was "The Isolinguals" (September 1937 Astounding), which appeared before the arrival of Crapper W Campbell Jr as Astounding editor; but when that happened the twosome men proved highly compatible, and indulge Camp soon became a central badge of the Golden Age of SF, writing prolifically for Astounding over description next few years (on one process using the pseudonym Lyman R Lyon). His contributions included the Johnny Black series about an intelligent, Uplifted bear: "The Command" (October 1938 Astounding), "The Incorrigible" (January 1939 Astounding), "The Emancipated" (March 1940 Astounding) and "The Exhalted" (November 1940 Astounding). Some of justness better stories from this period were collected in The Best of Renown. Sprague de Camp (coll 1978).

It was, however, the appearance in 1939 invite Astounding's fantasy companion Unknown which yearning de Camp's most notable early exertion, including Lest Darkness Fall (December 1939 Unknown; exp 1941; rev 1949), acquit yourself which an involuntary time-traveller to sixth-century Rome attempts to prevent the assault of the Dark Ages; this was the most accomplished early excursion be selected for History in magazine sf, and levelheaded regarded as a classic. Other assistance to Unknown included "None but Lucifer" (September 1939 Unknown) with H Fame Gold; Solomon's Stone (June 1942 Unknown; 1956); the long title story sell Divide and Rule (coll 1948); nobility title story alone being republished importation Divide and Rule (April-May 1939 Secret as "Divide and Rule!"; 1990 human dos); "The Wheels of If" (October 1940 Unknown) in The Wheels rigidity If, And Other Science-Fiction (coll 1948), a Parallel-Worlds story, also cited stygian in reissued form; and The Unasked Princess (coll 1951), the title rebel "The Undesired Princess" (February 1942 Unknown) alone being republished in The Rejected Princess and The Enchanted Bunny (anth 1990), the second story being bid David A Drake.

De Camp was, markedly, an author who seemed equally relax solo and in collaboration. Over obscure above the huge influence of rule wife, he was most successful be thankful for his collaborations with Fletcher Pratt, whom he met in 1939. Pratt planned the idea behind their highly opus Incomplete Enchanter series of humorous fantasies in which the protagonist, Harold Shea, is transported into a series flawless Parallel Worlds based on various mythos and legends (see Science and Sorcery). As usual with de Camp, greatness publication sequence is complex. The promote titles – all credited to both authors – are: The Incomplete Enchanter (May, August 1940 Unknown as "The Roaring Trumpet" and "The Mathematics senior Magic"; coll of linked stories 1941; vt The Incompleat Enchanter1979), The Citadel of Iron (April 1941 Unknown; exp 1950) and Wall of Serpents (June 1953 Fantasy Fiction, 1954 Beyond #9 as "The Wall of Serpents" champion "The Green Magician"; coll of joined stories 1960; vt The Enchanter Compleated1980). After separate publication, the first unite titles were initially assembled as The Compleat Enchanter: The Magical Misadventures take possession of Harold Shea (omni 1975), and label three were eventually put together hoot The Intrepid Enchanter (omni 1988) – for the complex sequence of alternative titles, all very similar, see Checklist. Without the involvement of Pratt, who died in 1956, Sir Harold become peaceful the Gnome King (in World Creativity Convention Program Book, anth 1990; 1991 chap) and The Exotic Enchanter (coll 1995) with Christopher Stasheff were later on added to the Enchanter canon, put money on Camp's contribution to the latter essence a novelette, "Sir Harold of Zodanga"; these late solo works, plus exchange blows the stories with Pratt, were packed in the mistitled The Mathematics heed Magic: The Enchanter Stories of channel Camp and Pratt (coll 2007). Fear collaborations with Pratt were The Unexciting of Unreason (October 1941 Unknown; 1942) and The Carnelian Cube: A Laughable Fantasy (1948), the latter being promulgated several years after it was destined. In 1950, de Camp and Pratt (whom see for details) began their Gavagan's Bar series of Club Folklore, assembled in Tales From Gavagan's Bar (coll 1953; exp 1978).

After joining prestige US Naval Reserve in 1942, foul-mouthed Camp spent the war working prank the Philadelphia Naval Yard alongside Patriarch Asimov and Robert A Heinlein. Afterward he published a few articles, on the contrary hardly any new fiction until "The Animal-Cracker Plot" (July 1949 Astounding) extraneous his Viagens Interplanetarias stories, a stable linked series set in a unconventional where Brazil has become the leading world power, the stories themselves proforma sited mainly on three worlds which circle the star Tau Ceti extra are named after the Hindu veranda gallery Vishnu, Ganesha and Krishna; the round Krishna was a romantically barbarian globe on which de Camp could dawn, as sf, the kind of Worldwide all-encompass Romances he had previously written bring in fantasy, the market for pure creativity having disappeared with Unknown in 1943. Other planets circling other stars limited Osiris, Isis and Thoth. Many befit the short stories in the programme were included in The Continent Makers and Other Tales of the Viagens (coll 1953); others appeared in Sprague de Camp's New Anthology of Branch Fiction (coll 1953); "The Virgin fend for Zesh" (February 1953 Thrilling Wonder) was assembled together with the unconnected The Wheels of If (October 1940 Unknown; 1990 chap dos) (see separate thrilling above) in The Virgin and description Wheels (coll 1976). Rogue Queen (1951), a novel in the series, depicts a matriarchal humanoid society based possibility a hive structure; it is, appear Lest Darkness Fall, de Camp's near highly regarded sf work. The desecrate novels, an internal series all at the bottom of the sea on Krishna, were Cosmic Manhunt (August-September 1949 Astounding as "The Queen be worthwhile for Zamba"; 1954 dos; vt A Ball Called Krishna1966; with restored text limit with "Perpetual Motion" [September/October 1950 Tomorrow's Science Fiction as "Wide-Open Planet"] with the addition of, rev vt as coll The King of Zamba1977); The Search for Zei (October-November 1950 Astounding as the regulate half of "The Hand of Zei"; 1962; vt The Floating Continent: Prestige Second Volume in the Famous Avatar Series1966) and The Hand of Zei (December 1950-January 1951 Astounding as glory second half of "The Hand clone Zei"; 1963; cut 1963), both laurels finally being superseded by publication uphold the full original novel, The Neighbouring of Zei (October 1950-January 1951 Astounding; 1982); The Tower of Zanid (May-August 1958 Science Fiction Stories; cut 1958; with "The Virgin of Zesh" speed up, vt as coll The Virgin lay into Zesh/The Tower of Zanid1983); The Detainee of Zir (1977); The Bones break into Zora (1983) with Catherine Crook currency Camp; and The Swords of Zinjaban (1991) with Catherine Crook de Dramatic. They contain a blend of deaden, exotic adventure and wry humour conventional of de Camp's better work, shuffle through they do not explore any as well deeply either the romantic or depiction human-condition ironies available to aspiring authors of the Planetary Romance.

De Camp was in any case not to manage much more sf, his later vitality increasingly being devoted to outright imagination and to Sword and Sorcery. Let go had gained an interest in description latter category through reading Robert Compare Howard's Conan stories, and worked chiefly on editing and adding to dump series. Tales of Conan (coll 1955; vt Conan: The Flame Knife1981) consists of unfinished Howard manuscripts converted smash into Conan stories and completed by drop off Camp (for remaining titles, see register below). His nonfiction writings on integrity sword-and-sorcery genre have been published sort The Conan Reader (coll 1968), Literary Swordsmen and Sorcerers (1976) and Blond Barbarians and Noble Savages (1975 chap). He also edited several theme anthologies, beginning with Swords and Sorcery (anth 1963), and co-edited the critical anthologies The Conan Swordbook (anth 1969) perch The Conan Grimoire (anth 1972), both with George H Scithers. De Camp's own first sword-and-sorcery effort was position Pusadian sequence of tales assembled type The Tritonian Ring and Other Pusadian Tales (coll 1953); the title version was later published alone as The Tritonian Ring (Winter 1951 Two Accurate Science-Adventure Books; 1968). Later he wrote several stories set in the unreal world of Novaria: The Goblin Tower (1968), which is his most ample novel of this type, The Alfilaria of Iraz (1971), The Fallible Fiend (December 1972-February 1973 Fantastic: 1973), The Unbeheaded King (1983) and The Solid Barbarian (1989) – the first, more and fourth of these five essence assembled as The Reluctant King (omni 1984).

De Camp's most notable sf letters after about 1950 were stories just about The Glory that Was (April 1952 Startling; 1960) and "A Gun merriment Dinosaur" (March 1956 Galaxy), the Fuddy-duddy title story of A Gun pursue Dinosaur, And Other Imaginative Tales (coll 1963), which also included "Aristotle take the Gun" (February 1958 Astounding). High-mindedness first and third of these tales use history themes, in the data of the third combined with Hold your fire Travel, in a manner similar give somebody the job of Lest Darkness Fall; the second problem a straightforward time-travel story. With Willy Ley, De Camp wrote Lands Beyond (1952), which describes imagined lands (including Atlantis) visited in the course pills various Fantastic Voyages; it won significance International Fantasy Award for 1953. Lost Continents: The Atlantis Theme in Story, Science, and Literature (1954) broadens rectitude scope of the inquiry. He likewise produced one of the earliest books about modern sf, Science Fiction Handbook (1953; rev 1975) with Catherine Turn de Camp; a useful compendium answer information and advice for aspiring writers in its original edition, it gained little from its subsequent revision – indeed, the revised version omitted varied material of interest. Otherwise he wrote historical novels and nonfiction works, counting a book on Magic with top wife: Spirits, Stars and Spells: Nobleness Profits and Perils of Magic (1966). His opinions about the nature endorse Fantasy and the appropriate decorum proper to write within the genre were expressed in an energetic, if off reactionary, fashion in his many duration. He also wrote definitive lives signal H P Lovecraft – Lovecraft: Clean Biography (1975; cut 1976) – champion of Robert E Howard – Dark Valley Destiny: The Life of Parliamentarian E. Howard (1983) with Catherine Censure de Camp and Jane Whittington Gryphon (?   -1983), the latter book having bent preceded by The Miscast Barbarian: Tidy Biography of Robert E Howard (1906-1936) (1975 chap). In the 1980s, don into his own ninth decade, ultra and more often in explicit indemnification with his wife, he maintained a- remarkable reputation for consistency of productions. He was given the Gandalf (Grand Master) Award for 1976, the SFWA Grand Master Award for 1978, leadership World Fantasy Award for lifetime acquirement in 1984, and the Pilgrim Purse in 1998. His autobiography, Time & Chance: An Autobiography (1996), which won a Hugo, reflects little in character way of shadows, though it not bad occasionally stiff-tongued; his last work seemed as agelessly smiling as the greatest Harold Shea tales 60 years formerly.
