The CD-ROM version is expected just as soon as we can find an agent to buy it from. Peter, who lives in an eastern suburb of Melbourne with his wife Clare and two children, was editor of Foundation (the only magazine I value as highly as ASFR and SFC) during the 1970s, and edited books such as Science Fiction at Large {Explorations of the Marvellous} and The Science in Science Fiction. This article, prepared first for another magazine, stirred great interest when Peter presented it to the November 1995 meeting of the Nova Mob. THE BOOKS WE REALLY READ by Peter Nicholls It began when I read the most recent number of Yvonne 750 in all: two a week or more aged 9-15, one a week or Rousseau’s Pursued by Oysters, Armed with Oyster Knives, less earlier on.

But before descending to the sordid details, To average it out correctly I have to calculate the let’s muse a little about the sort of statistics involved vagaries of a mixed lifetime: living alone or without here. I mean, before I pick my favourite 100 writers children for 18 of the 40 years, in family situations with (which is a very different list from what my more dis­ kids for 22; schoolboy one year, university student 7.25 passionate best 100 writers would be), let’s look at the years, going out to work regular hours for 16.25 years, kind of sampling involved. How many writers have I living the less structured life of a freelance for 15.5 years. actually read? It’s probably fair to say that I spent ten years reading a I made some rules. I’m fond of poetry, drama, bio­ book a day, another ten years at four books a week, and graphy, history, science and lots of other stuff, but to the other twenty years at 2.5 books a week. That makes restrict the range to manageable proportions, and to around 8300, plus the 750 in childhood makes near avoid comparing apples with oranges more than I have enough to 9000. If anything, that figure might be a bit to, I decided to include only writers who (1) wrote high. At least 1000 of these would be non-fiction, and fiction in prose, and (2) have written at least three books another 1200 would be re-reading books I’ve already that I really like. Books read only in translation are read. That leaves us with 6800. I’m pretty sure the order allowed. When I had a bit of trouble making up my Top of magnitude is right, though obviously the true figure 1001 instantly broke these rules, because the fellow who could be as much as plus or minus 20 per cent, which makes the rules, unlike you people out there, is allowed would mean I’ve read something between 5440 and to break them: I included poets Homer, Chaucer, Dante 8160 books of fiction. and Milton as sorts of proto-novelist (but no other I don’t need to be told that there’s a lot of statistically poets), and I promoted some one-or-two book authors shaky guesswork going on here, but my guess would be that I like a lot to the top list. These latter, I’ve marked that if I’ve read 5440-8160 books, then I’ve read far with asterisks (*). I’ve included no dramatists, even fewer than half that many fiction writers — maybe 40 though, otherwise, Shakespeare would be my first per cent — since a few of these guys have written up to choice. 30 or 40 books. That would be, say, 2175-3250 writers; All right, let’s start with how many books of fiction I’d incline to the lower figure. The three main lists name I’ve read. Up to the age of 15, I calculate, I read about 235 writers in toto, so very approximately, I’m naming 10 3 per cent of all fiction writers I’ve read as favourites. That about it here, except to guess that everybody who reads at seems statistically OK by me. I would reckon, however, all could make a substantial shame list of their own. I that anyone who had read fewer than 400 writers would needed a second division, of course, before I could produce a Top 100 list that was visibly insecure. But I’m properly make up my mind about the first, but looking really not sure at what point you can say that there’s no at it, further mortifications occur. statistical basis to work with. Arguably, if you’ve readjust Why, for example, is J. G.

  • Frank Bridge (1879-1941) Lamento Für Zwei Bratschen
    Frank Bridge (1879-1941) Lamento für zwei Bratschen Frank Bridge was a prominent figure in English music during the beginning of the 20th century. An outstanding violist and conductor, he studied under Charles Villiers Stanford at the Royal College of Music. Bridge composed in every genre, but chamber music was where he excelled, and he spent most of his life as an active chamber musician, having been a founding member of the English String Quartet. Nowadays, we remember Bridge best as the very famous composer Benjamin Britten's teacher. Britten said of Bridge, "He was most naturally an instrumental composer, and, as a superb viola player, he thought instrumentally... He fought against anything anti-instrumental which is why his own music is so graceful to play." Bridge composed two viola duets, Caprice and Lament, in 1911-1912 for a Bechstein (now Wigmore) Hall concert by Lionel Tertis and himself. Unfortunately, the manuscripts for both of these duets are now lost, but sketches for the works are housed at the Royal College of Music. The published version of Lament, which is being performed today, was constructed by Paul Hindmarsh, based on an almost complete version of the piece found in the leaves of sketch material. (Sadly, sketches for the other duet, Caprice, are not complete enough to be made into a piece that can be performed.) Because of this situation, the first performance of Lament took place on 18 March 1912, and the second, which was only able to occur post-reconstruction, was more than 65 years later on 12 February 1980.

  • JUDITH MERRIL-PDF-Sep23-07.Pdf (368.7Kb)
    JUDITH MERRIL: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND GUIDE Compiled by Elizabeth Cummins Department of English and Technical Communication University of Missouri-Rolla Rolla, MO 65409-0560 College Station, TX The Center for the Bibliography of Science Fiction and Fantasy December 2006 Table of Contents Preface Judith Merril Chronology A. Books B. Short Fiction C. Nonfiction D. Poetry E. Other Media F. Editorial Credits G. Secondary Sources About Elizabeth Cummins PREFACE Scope and Purpose This Judith Merril bibliography includes both primary and secondary works, arranged in categories that are suitable for her career and that are, generally, common to the other bibliographies in the Center for Bibliographic Studies in Science Fiction. Works by Merril include a variety of types and modes—pieces she wrote at Morris High School in the Bronx, newsletters and fanzines she edited; sports, westerns, and detective fiction and non-fiction published in pulp magazines up to 1950; science fiction stories, novellas, and novels; book reviews; critical essays; edited anthologies; and both audio and video recordings of her fiction and non-fiction. Works about Merill cover over six decades, beginning shortly after her first science fiction story appeared (1948) and continuing after her death (1997), and in several modes— biography, news, critical commentary, tribute, visual and audio records. This new online bibliography updates and expands the primary bibliography I published in 2001 (Elizabeth Cummins, “Bibliography of Works by Judith Merril,” Extrapolation, vol. 42, 2001). It also adds a secondary bibliography. However, the reasons for producing a research- based Merril bibliography have been the same for both publications. Published bibliographies of Merril’s work have been incomplete and often inaccurate.
