No. Not hardly.
Let's put it this way...the series cited wouldn't've existed w/o STAR SCIENCE FICTION...DANGEROUS VISIONS wouldn't've happened without Judith Merril's work... McCauley's DARK FORCES was an heir to his FRIGHTS but neither was quite up to the aggregate of SHADOWS if we discount WHISPERS for the same reason that Klima chastises himself for including NEW WORLDS QUARTERLY w/o crediting most of its editors...the pioneering anthologies by Strong, Conklin, Healey and McComas and Wollheim all deserve consideration ahead of at least several of these.
I'm pretty tired of people with jobs in the field being so ignorant of its history. No, very tired.
I have to agree about those pioneering anthologies, Todd. Where would we be without those. Bleiler & Ditky, too.
Yep. And Martin Greenberg's early anthos for his larcenous Gnome Press, as distinct from Martin Harry Greeberg's production of anthos from the 1970s to date.
Influential: Pamela Sargent and the WOMEN OF WONDER volumes...Sterling's MIRRORSHADES...one can go on. Very easily. Too easily.
