NOVAE TERRAE

   The earliest true FANZINE in the UK (1936-9), 33 issues, ed Maurice K. Hanson, first for the Nuneaton chapter of the SCIENCE FICTION LEAGUE, and then, from \#10, for the pre-WWII Science Fiction Association, the UK's first national sf organization. NT was given over primarily to discussion of sf and FANDOM, the only fiction it carried being parodies or based on fan doings. In Sep 1937 Hanson moved to London, and from \#17 John CARNELL and Hanson's flatmate Arthur C. CLARKE were listed as assistant editors. Hanson's other flatmate, William F. TEMPLE, replaced Carnell with \#25, butafter \#29 Hanson handed NT to Carnell, who issued a further 4 issues - numbered 1 to 4 - under the anglicized title New Worlds, which had always appeared on the title page alongside the Latin version. The title was revived after WWII by Carnell as a professional magazine of fiction, NEW WORLDS.
