This is an exploration of the richness inherent in genre and ethnic
colections. The contributors were asked to provide an overview of
their topic, its relevance to library collections and suggestions
about how collections might proceed. In addition, attention was
paid to the needs of individual collectors, many of whose
collections have also enriched libraries. The editors hope that
this volume will contribute to a greater understanding of why it is
important to collect and preserve special kinds of writing. The
studies of the various genres in this book show that each has a
specific contribution to make to the understanding of our social
development and many can enlighten dark passages in the past.
For years, those bringing SF into the classroom have had to improvise their course materials from anthologies and collections not designed for classwork. Now, David G. Hartwell, award-winning anthologist, and Professor Milton T. Wolf, Vice President of the Science Fiction Research Association, present a carefully selected reading anthology reflecting the SF field in all its modern diversity. Here are Golden Age writers like John W. Campbell and Jack Williamson, and here also are towering latter-day titans like Gene Wolfe and Ursula K. Le Guin, along with today's popular writers such as Greg Bear, Robert Jordan, and Vernor Vinge.
