This chronology outlines British science fiction from 1479-1990,
highlighting the important biographical and publishing events in
the field of science fiction literature and fandom, as well as in
other media. The chronology includes biographical information on
more than 700 authors, listings of more than 2,000 works, including
anthologies, criticism and essays, publishing and fandom
milestones, first publications, and awards. The works are fully
cross-referenced and indexed, with introductory definitions of the
field and descriptive headnotes for five periods: The Descent of
Scientific Romance, 1478-1894; The Wellsian Synthesis, 1895-1936;
British Science Fiction, 1937-1961; New Wave S(peculative)
F(iction), 1962-1978; and The British Fantastic, 1979-1990. This
book is an outgrowth of and is complementary to Ruddick's critical
work, Ultimate Island. Together the two works define the scope and
the nature of British science fiction--an enormous field that is
not, until recently, examined separately from American science
fiction in spite of considerable differences.
