A Historical Survey of Canadian Science Fiction
This attempt to uncover a distinctive history of Canadian SF has led to the determination of three periods of development. A pioneer period, beginning with Napoleon Aubin’s Mon vovage á la lune (1839), ends around 1932. Various works influenced by the American utopian tradition and the British future-war tradition appeared in this time, but the most important title is James De Mille’s A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder (1888). A seco…
James Blish’s Welcome to Mars and the Haertel Complex

On the basis of two letters, outline material, and notes and drafts of three-plus chapters in Saxton’s possession, we can reconstruct the development from story idea to novel and also much of the plot of what would have been an ambitious and highly original novel, with an eight-chapter structure…
