Notes

Colin Greenland, one of the sharpest and most innovative young British critics and novelists, had a bright idea. The old SF was joyous. So why not enjoy it, even now? Why not write Space Opera whose heroine – Tabitha Jute (to avoid a John Clute mistake) – may not change the universe, but who is superabundantly alive? So he did. John Clute, Science Fiction: The Illustrated Encyclopedia, p. 234.
