Review
"The repercussions of Campbell''s death provide merely one context for Ashley''s study, which addresses all the major influences on the genre. As such, it is both extraordinary in scope and meticulous in detail, given the range of magazines and stories described. Despite Ashley''s own occasionally subjective assertions and the sometimes partisan opinions of cited writers and critics, Gateways is relentlessly informative. . . . Ashley should be congratulated for his achievement. He has rendered material that might have read like a list into a rich and vibrant history. Indeed, his engaging style reawakens the very essence of science fiction: the sense of wonder."–Times Higher Education Supplement (Times Higher Education Supplement ) –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
