| Video Discription | Short stories have been incubators of experimental and speculative ideas since the emergence of the science fiction genre more than a century ago. They're also my favorite form of SF, as they distill and concentrate what makes much of the genre so appealing to me. In this video, I provide a brief overview of the evolution of SF short fiction and its impact on the genre, with an emphasis on the anthologies that have collected and popularized the stories and authors that defined its early years. 0:36 Short stories as SF laboratories 2:54 Early SF readers 5:23 SF in the pulps 6:32 Tracing the history of SF short stories 10:29 The pulps get competition 11:55 Emergence of SF anthologies 13:08 Impact of SF anthologies 15:21 Wide range of anthologies 16:11 1940s & 50s anthologies 22:29 1960s & New Wave influence 28:14 Themed anthologies 28:55 1970s & 80s anthologies 29:32 1990s to present day ------------------------------ Links to some of my other videos about SF history and anthologies: A History of Gnome Press - https://youtu.be/_HlKhLG3ZxE A History of Arkham House - https://youtu.be/5k_iug7rWmE Entry Points for Classic SF - https://youtu.be/YaLQVvQ2SgI ------------------------------ Library ladder merchandise is available at https://thelibraryladder.creator-spring.com I also have a Ko-Fi.com page if you enjoy my videos and would like to buy me a cup of coffee: https://ko-fi.com/thelibraryladder #booktube #scifi #sfalliance #bookcollection #booktubesff [3VNt6N9m-_4] |
