Book Description
"No form of art ever gave freer reign to the imagination than that found on the covers of the early science-fiction magazines. But it was imagination based firmly on possible realities. Long before there were spaceships, flying saucers, robots and lasers, science-fiction art was depicting them magnificently."--back cover.

Book Description
Academic attention to science fiction and fantasy began in 1958, when the Modern Language Association scheduled its first seminar on science fiction at its New York meeting. Over the years science fiction emerged as a popular subject that achieved critical attention and acceptance as an academic discipline. A Research Guide to Science Fiction Studies, originally published in 1977, is designed to provide the reader – whether they be scholar, teacher, librarian, or fan – with a comprehensive listing of the important research tools that have been published in the United States and England through 1976. The volume contains over 400 selected, annotated entries covering both general and specialized sources, including general surveys, histories, genre studies, author studies, bibliographies, and indices, which span the entire range of science fiction and fantasy scholarship.
