Seekers Of Tomorrow - Sam Moskowitz (SF reference - review 0808 - April 4, 2019)

comments by CR

Sam Moskowitz,(1920-97) science-fiction historian and anthologist, wrote the listed essays about the most influential authors during the period 1940 to 1965. The essays are very detailed as to the author's major works, themes and biographical details. Many of the authors published influential works after 1965 but, alas, there has never been a revised edition and the editor is deceased. Nonetheless "Seekers of Tomorrow" (1965) is in my estimation an essential book any serious fan or student of science-fiction should have on their reference shelf.

 

The inclusion of a detailed index incorporating a listing all titles mentioned makes this a most helpful reference for readers and researchers.

All of the essays first appeared in Amazing magazine during the period 1961-65.
