7 Smith, E. E. DocSkylark Duquesne. 29707
Pyramid: NY. 1966.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Paperback original.
''his work is strongly identified with the beginnings of US pulp sf as a separate marketing genre, and did much to define its essential territory, galactic space. When in 1915 he began to write the first novel of his Skylark series with Mrs Lee Hawkins Garby (1890-?) -- a neighbour seconded to help with feminine matters such as dialogue -- no models existed (or, at least, none that were available to a monolingual US food chemist) that could explain the combined exuberance and scale that The Skylark of Space (written 1915-20; 1928 AMZ; 1946; rev with cuts 1958) demonstrated when it finally appeared in Amazing Stories, two years after the start of that magazine, in the same issue as Philip Nowlan's ''Armageddon -- 2419 A.D.'', the story which introduced Buck Rogers. Elements of Smith's prelapsarian exuberance may have been discernible in some of the Edisonades which proliferated in the USA from about 1890; and a certain cosmogonic high-handedness is traceable to the works of H.G. Wells and his UK contemporaries. But it was Smith who combined the two. Along with its sequels -- Skylark Three (1930 AMZ; 1948), Skylark of Valeron (1934-5 ASF; 1949) and SKYLARK DUQUESNE (1966) -- The Skylark of Space brought the edisonade to its first full maturity, creating a proper galactic forum for the exploits of the inventor/scientist/action-hero who keeps the world (or the Universe) safe for US values despite the efforts of a foreign-hued villain (Marc ''Blackie'' DuQuesne) to pollute those values. But the highly personalized conflict between hero-inventor Richard Seaton and villain-inventor DuQuesne -- who develops from the stage histrionics of the first novel to the dominating antiheroics of the last and is perhaps Smith's most vivid creation -- did not very satisfactorily motivate the vast intergalactic conflicts of the later volumes of the series, as the scale of everything -- the potency of the weapons, the power, size and speed of the spaceships, the number of planets overawed -- increased by leaps and bounds. Nor was Smith much concerned to sophisticate the chummy, clammy idiocy of his women or the hokum of the slang in which all emotions were conveyed'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
