Publication Dates For Poul Anderson's Psychotechnic History

Poul Anderson, "The Pirate" IN Anderson, The Complete Psychotechnic League, Volume 3 (Riverdale, NY, 2018), pp. 137-165.

Written much later than any other Psychotechnic History episode, "The Pirate" is reflective in tone as I hope to demonstrate but first I thought that it would be interesting just to list the publication dates for this future history series:

"Entity," 1949
"Quixote and the Windmill," 1950
"Gypsy," 1950
"Star Ship," 1950
"The Acolytes," 1951
"Un-Man," January 1953
"The Green Thumb," 1953
"The Chapter Ends," 1953
"The Troublemakers," September 1953
"The Sensitive Man," January 1954
"Teucan," 1954
"Symmetry," 1954
"The Big Rain," October 1954
"What Shall It Profit?," 1955
"The Snows of Ganymede," Winter 1955
Star Ways/The Peregrine, 1956
"Marius," March 1957
"Holmgang," 1957
"Cold Victory," 1957
"Brake," 1957
"Virgin Planet," 1957
"The Pirate," 1968
 
We will return to this theme shortly.

Kaor, Paul!

I forget the name and date of the magazine, but Anderson pub. his chart of the Psychotechnic timeline in it. If he included "Star Ship" and "The Chapter Ends" in it that would resolve my doubts about those two stories belonging to the Psychotechnic series.

I knew it was something like that, except it was ASTOUNDING I thought might have pub. it. I've even thought of trying to track down and buying a copy of that issue of STARTLING STORIES.

Ad astra! Sean
