Brian Stableford (2016)

Brian Michael Stableford (born July 25, 1948 in Shipley , West Yorkshire ) is a British writer, critic, editor and translator of science fiction . He has published dozens of novels, over 250 short stories, hundreds of essays and reviews, and a number of non-fiction, monographs, and encyclopedias on science fiction and fantasy. His works have been translated into 14 languages.

Life

Stableford is the son of aircraft designer William Ernest Stableford and teacher Joyce Stableford, née Wilkinson. After attending Manchester Grammar School , he studied at the University of York , where he graduated in 1969 with a bachelor's degree in biology . In 1979 he received his doctorate there with a thesis on the sociology of science fiction. From 1977 to 1988 he was a sociology professor at the University of Reading , from 1988 to 1995 he taught creative writing there . In 1995/1996 he was a lecturer at the University of the West of England in Bristol .

Stableford began writing as a teenager. His first short story, Beyond Time's Aegis , appeared in Science Fantasy magazine in 1965 . He wrote it together with his schoolmate Craig A. Mackintosh under the pseudonym Brian Craig, formed from the first names of the two authors. He later used the pseudonym several times for his own work.

His first novel, The Cradle of the Sun , was published in 1969. In 1972, The Halcyon Drift, the first volume of a novel cycle named partly after the protagonist star pilot Grainger and partly after his spaceship Hooded Swan , was published. By 1975 another five volumes appeared in each of which Grainger had to deal with the problems and dangers of an alien planet and its ecology, with Stableford skillfully processing his knowledge of biology. The six-volume cycle about the spaceship Daedalus, which contacts lost interstellar colonies of mankind during its missions, was structured in a similar way.

It has been noted on several occasions that Stableford's productivity stands in the way of the critics. For an author of very ambitious works, he is downright a prolific writer and some of his novels are merely routine, which is why more demanding work was often underestimated. The poor reception of his literary works is said to have been the reason that he withdrew in 1981 and concentrated on critical, philological and lexicographical work on science fiction in the following years.

In 1982 The Science in Science Fiction was published , written together with Peter Nicholls and David Langford , which was also published in German translation. In it, he examined the varied and complex relationships between science and science fiction. Scientific Romance in Britain 1890–1950 followed in 1985 , a thorough work on Scientific Romance , the British forerunner genre of science fiction. In 2016, New Atlantis: A Narrative History of Scientific Romance followed, a treatment of the same subject that was greatly expanded to four volumes. Also in 1985, the essay The Sociology of Science Fiction , based on his dissertation, was published . In terms of lexicographic works, the Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction Literature appeared in 2004 and the Historical Dictionary of Fantasy Literature in 2005 (in an expanded new edition in 2009 as The A to Z of Fantasy Literature ). He dealt with the topic of the relationship between science fiction and science again in 2006 in 'Science Fact and Science Fiction' in the form of a lexicon. Less visible were his extensive contributions to reference works and encyclopedias, notably in the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction , in FN Magill's Survey of Science Fiction Literature and Neil Barron's Anatomy of Wonder (1987). His numerous essays have now appeared in several collective editions.

From the end of the 1980s on, Stableford appeared again as a fiction author, especially with the narratives of the Biotech Revolution , stories set in the relatively near future in which genetic engineering and the genetic modification of humans are the subject. In 1991, Sexual Chemistry: Sardonic Tales of the Genetic Revolution, a collection of such narratives, was published; further anthologies followed in 2004.

In the years that followed, Stableford wrote other novels and novel cycles in which three focal points can be identified, namely alternative history , fictional worlds and elements from horror literature and fantasy, whereby these components are often mixed with one another. An example of this is The Empire of Fear (1988), where in an alternative story from the Middle Ages a world is described that is ruled by immortal vampires , whereby these vampires are not supernatural beings, but their existence is explained in the style of a scientific romance . Similar to the David-Lydyard novel trilogy (1990–1994), now with werewolves in the 19th century. Stableford not only reached into the general fund of fantastic beings such as vampires and werewolves, but also took up specific fictional worlds of individual authors, such as HP Lovecrafts in The Legacy of Erich Zann (2010) or Clark Ashton Smith's Curse of the Coral Bride (2004 ).

Another focus in the years after 2005 was Stableford's intensive translation activity, which concentrated on the French roman scientifique , i.e. the contemporaries and forerunners of Jules Verne . In particular, translations of the works of Paul Féval , Maurice Renard and J.-H. Rosny aîné . During this time over 180 translations by French authors were made, that is, Stableford single-handedly translated a not inconsiderable part of the roman scientifique .

In line with Stableford's preoccupation with the literature of French decadence , the Mnemosyne cycle, beginning with The Wayward Muse collection (2005), is set in a decadent artist colony in a world in whose alternative history the Roman Empire never perished.

Stableford married Vivien Owen in 1973, with whom he has a son and a daughter. In 1985 the marriage ended in divorce. In 1987 he married Roberta Jane Rennie. Stableford lives in Reading , Berkshire .
