  • 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.

  • Palgrave Macmillan X PREFACE
    The Evolution of Modern Fantasy From Antiquarianism to the Ballantine Adult Fantasy Series Jamie Williamson palgrave macmillan x PREFACE some cohesion. 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.

  • The Post-War Years and the Evolution of the PBO
    The Post-War Years and the Evolution of the PBO by Bruce Black Shortly after the war, the paperback industry exploded onto the U.S. publishing scene with such unrestrained growth, that within a decade, supply would far exceed demand. In an industry with such diversity as this one, the evolution of paperbacks during the late 1940’s was predictable, at least from the aspect of an armchair quarterback looking back at the era. Publishers were forced to find gimmicks to make their books stand apart from the others. The market niches were all there to be filled. They only had to pick and choose. It soon became obvious that post-war tastes had evolved. Returning servicemen were more conservative than they’d been when they left. They longed for life at home; for families, and idealistic family values. On the other hand, soldiers overseas had been afforded a glimpse of books published outside the narrower constraints placed on American printers. American censorship laws were some of the most restrictive in the world, and now many prospective book-buyers in this country had been able to see that fact first hand. This gave further leeway to publishers trying to find their post-war identities, and many chose to “push the limits” of what social conservatives viewed as appropriate. NAL / Signet If the explosion had a single source of ignition, it could probably be traced to Penguin, with the arrival of one player in our drama and the departure of another. The arrival was Victor Weybright, who joined the U.S.

  • Collecting Vintage Mass Market Paperbacks and Paperback Originals
    Collecting Vintage Mass Market Paperbacks And Paperback Originals by Bruce Black In the Beginning In 1939, a man named Robert DeGraff gambled on American literacy and won. Whether or not there were different types of readers in the U.S., there were distinctly different markets. Books were sold to those who could afford the sizable $2 to $3 price tag. Cheaper, paperbound books did exist, but most were very specialized: romances, mysteries, westerns and adolescent adventure novels made up the bulk of these titles. Many had serial characters. Almost none were considered significant literature. They were what would later be called “digest-sized” books, and the covers, though they supported color, were much thinner than those of the paperbacks that we think of today. And then there were the pulps … cheap magazines that catered to various literary genres and offered serialized works (and sometimes complete novels) that sold for a quarter or less. DeGraff wanted to offer modern reprints of favorite books at pulp magazine prices. Well, actually the concept wasn’t new at all. The first true English-language mass market paperbacks were printed more than a century before by Tauchnitz of Leipzig, Germany. Tauchnitz began publishing the books in 1835, reprinting popular British and American works at the rate of one per week, and it continued to do so well into the 1930’s … almost a hundred years and more than 5,000 titles in all. The unwritten agreement for the right to print the books was that the volumes would not be sold in any English-speaking country (most were probably sold in France).
