Dear fellow Vernians,

Here's some late-breaking news that I think will be of interest to all of
you.

Best,
Art

   Wesleyan UP has just announced a new book series entitled "Early Classics
of Science Fiction" to be launched in 2001. This series will consist of
three lines: scholarly editions of classic English-language science fiction,
new translations of non-English science fiction--both of which will contain
critical introductions, extensive notes, and bibliographical materials,
etc.--and monographs and other scholarly studies that focus on early science
fiction
(pre-1940). According to Wesleyan, the primary goal of this "Early Classics
of Science Fiction" series is: "to provide a venue for the publication and
scholarly study of neglected early works of science fiction and, in so
doing, to expand and enrich the traditional definitions of the genre."
    The flagship of the series will feature works by Jules Verne: e.g., new
first-edition English translations of three never-before-translated novels
(_Invasion of the Sea_, _The Superb Orinoco_, and _Travel Scholarships_) as
well as new and improved translations of other Verne novels for which the
existing public-domain versions are very poor.
    Wesleyan is now soliciting manuscripts, proposals, ideas, and volume
editors for potential books in this series. Please send your suggestions
and/or submissions directly to the General Editor: Arthur B. Evans,
Department of Modern Languages, EC L-06, DePauw University, Greencastle, IN
46135, e-mail: <aevans~at~depauw.edu>. For further information about the
series, contact Wesleyan UP at the following address: Suzanna Tamminen,
Editor-in-Chief, Wesleyan University Press, 110 Mt. Vernon St., Middletown,
CT 06459, fax: (860) 685-2421, e-mail: <stamminen~at~wesleyan.edu>.
