BARRON, Neil (Richard Neil)
- BARRON, Neil (Richard Neil)
(1934-)
US bibliographer and book editor, trained as a librarian, who has produced some of the liveliest and most readable scholarship in sf, notably in the three well researched editions of Anatomy of Wonder: A Critical Guide to Science Fiction (1976; exp 1981; further exp 1987), which he edited and to which he contributed. These volumes discuss many individual books, both fiction (including foreign-language) and secondary literature; the 3rd edn, with over 2600 entries, is by far the most thorough work of its kind; a 4th edition is projected for 1995. Companion vols ed NB are Fantasy Literature: A Reader's Guide (1990) and Horror Literature: A Reader's Guide (1990). NB founded and edited SCIENCE FICTION \& FANTASY BOOK REVIEW 1979-80, and edited the same journal when it was revived by the SCIENCE FICTION RESEARCH ASSOCIATION in 1982-3. It merged with FANTASY NEWSLETTER in 1984 to form the newly titled FANTASY REVIEW (very briefly known at first as SF \& Fantasy Review), for which NB was review editor Jan 1984-Apr 1985. He is a regular contributor to the SFRA NEWSLETTER. NB received the 1982 PILGRIM AWARD for his contributions to sf scholarship.
