    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.

On the other hand, this approach tends toward oversim­ plification and breeds a kind of tunnel vision. One area which that tunnel vision has largely eliminated from consid­ eration in histories of fantasy has been the narrative poetry, some quite long, of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: work that engaged similar subject matter, identifieditself with similar areas of premodem and tradi­ tional narrative, and was widely read by many of the writers of the BAFS Introduction canon. Another area, not neglected but needing some refinement of per­ spective, has to do with those "epics and romances and sagas": they are gen­ erally alluded to rather indiscriminately as stufffrom (vaguely) "way back Charting the Terrain then." But modern access to these works is via scholarly editions, transla­ tions, epitomes, and retellings, themselves reflectingmodern perspectives; to readers of two centuries ago, the medieval Arthurian romances seeing print forthe first time were as new as Pride and Prejudice. My contention is that what we call modern fantasywas in facta creative extension of the he coalesc�ce of fantasy-thatcontem or ry l ter cat go y wh s _ _ r, � � �,:, � � � : antiquarian work that made these older works available.

PUC-SP 2010 Banca Examinadora _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ DEDICATÓRIA Dedico esta dissertação à memória do escritor de Ficção Científica Philip K. Dick, cuja obra representa uma grande ruptura neste gênero ao questionar a identidade humana em relação ao avanço tecnológico dos meios de produção material da vida. Ao diretor de cinema britânico Ridley Scott e sua equipe que há 28 anos transcodificou magistralmente um romance de Dick para as telas, criando Blade Runner , um filme que desde então se tornou parte inerente de minha vida. Aos fãs e leitores de Ficção Científica como um todo, e especificamente aos leitores de Philip K. Dick, H.G. Wells e Mary Shelley. E evidentemente, aos inúmeros admiradores do filme Blade Runner . À professora doutora Noêmia Lazzareschi, do Programa de Ciências Sociais da PUC-SP, cujas aulas tiveram o poder de fundamentar minha visão do mundo social e científico de uma forma muito mais consistente do que a que eu tinha antes. E principalmente, à minha amada esposa Angela Procópio, que em todos os momentos em que fraquejei e caí perto dela, não só auxiliou no meu reerguimento, como me ensinou a fazer isto por conta própria, caso não estivesse por perto.

    THE CONVENTION REPORT UJ iL tn LU Photographs on pages 9, 15. FICTION SUMMER BOOKS SCIENCE FANS & WRITERS hD 3 CHICAGO | worm's eyeview cartoon on opposite page by Lee Hoffman | Bulletin; Thru error, it was reported at convention that 1,050 people had signed In. Dup.licate registrations and pen­ names caused confusion. Final and official count now reveals that only 867 registered. Estimated 175 gate-crashers also present. 0PENIN3 DAY: One year ago at New Orleans, science fiction conven­ tions moved into the realm of big business when that affair grossed over one thousand dollars. This year, attendance and program presentation likewise moved into the higher brackets. The three - day Chicago program was overloaded with names and star attractions, so overloaded that a fourth day could have been added to handle the overflow. Target of much fan criticism because they were "professional hucksters," the convention committee provided more mass program entertainment than could be adequately grasped. Like all previous conventions, this one began late. A long and seemingly unending line of people formed before noon to register; by mid-afternoon they were still at it. In addition, the hotel carpenters were unable to prepare the stage in time for the open­ ing hour; a Catholic youth convention in the same hotel had stayed beyond their allotted time, ruining schedules. Some six hundred people sat in the Terrace Casino, watching a giant moon-map hung as a backdrop, watching people scurrying about on the stage. About 4;30 pm, William Hamling opened the proceedings with an’ address of welcome, and It was announced that 650 people had reg­ istered up until that time.
