James Osler Bailey (August 12, 1903 – 1979) was a professor of literature who taught at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He wrote on a wide slate of topics ranging from the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Thomas Hardy to science fiction and utopian literature. The Science Fiction Research Association gives recognition in the form of the Pilgrim Award in honor of his seminal work ''Pilgrims Through Space and Time''. Reviewer Willy Ley, however, found the volume disappointing; while praising the core of the work, the master's thesis and doctoral dissertation written by Bailey years earlier, he faulted the remainder of the book as inferior, "obviously pasted to the original dissertation both loosely and clumsily."〔Willy Ley, "Book Review," ''Astounding Science Fiction'', March 1948, pp.153-56.〕 He was struck by a car and died later from a blood clot, in 1979. ==Books== *''Supplementary Exercises for Use in English Courses for Engineers: Prepared to Accompany Howell's Handbook of English in Engineering Usage with Cross References to Woolley and Scott's College Handbook of Composition and Greever and Jones' The Century Collection'', Chapman & Hall, (1931) *''Poe's "Stonehenge"'', University Press, (1941) *''Sources for Poe's Arthur Gordon Pym, "Hans Pfaal," and Other Pieces'', Modern Language Association of America, (1942) *''Hardy's "Imbedded Fossil"'', North Carolina University, (1945) *''Pilgrims Through Space and Time: Trends and Patterns in Scientific and Utopian Fiction'', (1947) *''The Southern Humanities Conference and Its Constituent Societies'', University of North Carolina Press, (1951) *''Proper Words in Proper Places'', (1952) *''Victorian Poetry'', by Edward K.
