"I Am a Barbarian" is a historical novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs written in 1941 but was not published until after the author's death, first appearing in hardback on September 1, 1967 as published by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.. The book was originally to have been published by Canaveral Press. When Canaveral folded, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. took up the project. It is the first and only book they have published since "Llana of Gathol", in 1948.
