Tom Haughey _A.n Appreciation of Murray £ein$ter It was in the year 1919 or '20, when I was fifteen and every fine fantasy story I read was an electric experience, that I read "The Mad Planet". It was a terrific nightmare vision and instantly I added the name of Murray Leinster to the list that already held A. Merritt, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and a few others. I have been reading and admiring his stories ever since, and I hope they go on forever. Mr. Leinster is a professional, in the finest sense of the word, meaning that he has the skills of his profession at his fingertips. And his profession is that of a master story-teller. His stories take hold of you from the first page and build with a sheer craftmanship and econ­ omy of effort that are the envy and despair of anyone who has ever tried to do the same thing. In science-fiction, imagination is even more important than writ­ ing skill, and the boldness of his imaginative concepts is one big rea­ son why Murray Leinster’s name has been up there in the bright lights for so long.

  • The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs
    I The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Lost Races and Racism in American Popular Culture James R. Nesteby Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Doctor of Philosophy August 1978 Approved: © 1978 JAMES RONALD NESTEBY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ¡ ¡ in Abstract The Tarzan series of Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), beginning with the All-Story serialization in 1912 of Tarzan of the Apes (1914 book), reveals deepseated racism in the popular imagination of early twentieth-century American culture. The fictional fantasies of lost races like that ruled by La of Opar (or Atlantis) are interwoven with the realities of racism, particularly toward Afro-Americans and black Africans. In analyzing popular culture, Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature (1932) and John G. Cawelti's Adventure, Mystery, and Romance (1976) are utilized for their indexing and formula concepts. The groundwork for examining explanations of American culture which occur in Burroughs' science fantasies about Tarzan is provided by Ray R. Browne, publisher of The Journal of Popular Culture and The Journal of American Culture, and by Gene Wise, author of American Historical Explanations (1973). The lost race tradition and its relationship to racism in American popular fiction is explored through the inner earth motif popularized by John Cleves Symmes' Symzonla: A Voyage of Discovery (1820) and Edgar Allan Poe's The narrative of A. Gordon Pym (1838); Burroughs frequently uses the motif in his perennially popular romances of adventure which have made Tarzan of the Apes (Lord Greystoke) an ubiquitous feature of American culture.

Since then the Burroughs Collection has grown to include nearly 6,000 volumes, the gift of the editor in memory of his mother, Nell Dismukes McWhorter. A subjective analysis entitled: "Edgar Rice Burroughs: King of Dreams" is given in these pages, together with a description of the Burroughs Collection, its highlights, and a bibliographic overview of the Burroughs canon. Special thanks are due Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., Tarzana, California, for kind per- mission to reproduce numerous photographs which illustrate this issue. The front cover portrait of Burroughs was taken in Chicago, 1916. Photographic work is courtesy of Professor Phil Owen, Instructional Communications Center. Library Review, designed to acquaint our membership with one or more in-depth collections in the Rare Book Depart- ment, was founded in 1960 and is now in its twentieth vear of publication.
