The Wonder Timeline: SF&F Retrospective
SCIENCE FICTION & FANTASY HISTORY: RETROSPECTIVE REVIEWS The idea of "The Wonder Timeline" is to highlight selected stories throughout SF&F history (all 100 years of it). Every "Year in SF&F" page contains reviews of stories, collections, original anthologies and novels published that year, and every "Cover Gallery" page celebrates the visual style of a particular era. Going year by year, we are gradually filling out reviews for thousands of stories listed on our site, giving you both recommendations for reading and a fun perspective on the development of the genre. Most reviews are by Avi Abrams (unless noted otherwise) - SF&F in the 1800s - 1910s 1800s --- 1900s --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1910s --- , ---- Full Year Reviews - Decade of the 1920s 1920 --- 1921 --- 1922 --- 1923 --- 1924 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1925 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1926 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1927 --- 1928 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1929 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews - Decade of the 1930s 1930 --- 1931 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1932 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1933 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1934 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1935 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1936 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1937 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1938 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1939 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews - Decade of the 1940s 1940 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1941 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1942 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1943 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1944 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1945 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1946 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1947 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1948 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1949 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews - Decade of the 1950s 1950 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1951 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1952 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1953 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1954 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1955 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1956 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1957 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1958 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1959 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews - Decade of the 1960s 1960 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1961 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1962 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1963 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1964 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1965 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1966 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1967 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1968 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1969 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews - Decade of the 1970s 1970 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1971 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1972 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1973 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1974 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1975 --- 1976 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1977 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1978 --- 1979 --- - Decade of the 1980s 1980 --- 1981 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1982 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1983 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1984 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1985 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1986 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1987 --- 1988 --- 1989 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews - Decade of the 1990s 1990 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1991 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1992 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1993 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1994 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1995 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1996 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1997 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1998 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 1999 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews - Decade of the 2000s 2000 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 2001 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 2002 --- 2003 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 2004 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 2005 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 2006 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 2007 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 2008 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 2009 --- - Decade of the 2010s to NOW 2010 --- 2011 --- 2012 --- , ---- Full Year Reviews 2013 --- 2014 --- 2015 --- 2016 --- 2017 --- 2018 --- 2019 --- 2020 --- 2021 Email us your own observations and reviews to be included in this timeline! |
