SCIENCE FICTION: A REVIEW OF SPECULATIVE LITERATURE
- SCIENCE FICTION: A REVIEW OF SPECULATIVE LITERATURE
Australian critical magazine ed Van Ikin from University of Sydney and later University of Western Australia; associate ed Terry DOWLING; irregular; PULP-MAGAZINE format, 35 issues 1977-1993, presumably current. Intended to be a reputable academic journal, as the editorial addressessuggest, SF:AROSL has oscillated a little uneasily between the academic and the fannish, but has nevertheless published good critical features. Until the more regular and perhaps livelier AUSTRALIAN SCIENCE FICTIONREVIEW: SECOND SERIES appeared in 1986, this was the main repository for Australian sf criticism (especially since its main rival,
SF COMMENTARY, was notably irregular in the 1980s), publishing interesting material by its editors and by Russell BLACKFORD, George TURNER and others. The very irregular publication means letters and reviews often seem out of date even as they appear.
