ROBINSON, Roger

(1943-)

   UK computer programmer and bibliographer, active in UK fandom for many years. The Writings of Henry Kenneth Bulmer (1983 chap; rev 1984 chap) is an exhaustive BIBLIOGRAPHY of one of the most prolific sf writers, and Who's Hugh?: An SF Reader's Guide to Pseudonyms (1987) is similarly exhaustive. Criticized at first for its failure to annotate its findings - so that, for instance, pseudonyms used for sf could not be distinguished from others - it has shown itself accurate and comprehensive. By sourcing each attribution, so that readers can weigh the reliability of the ascriptions, it aspires to a greater methodological sophistication than is often found in sf scholarship.
