Professor Pilkington has published over one hundred poems, articles, reviews, and short stories in five countries and more than sixty publications. He is an active member of the Science Fiction Writers of America, and his poetry has appeared, among other places, in The Christian Science Monitor, America, Poetry Wales, and Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. He is the author of Screening Shakespeare from Richard II to Henry V, from the University of Delaware Press. Cambridge University Press's Shakespeare and the Moving Image included his essay on Zeffirelli, and with his wife, Olga, he wrote the filmography for Michael Flachmann’s 2007 Shakespeare, From Page to Stage. He is a regular contributor to the Utah Shakespearean Festival’s Insights and Midsummer Magazine. Some of his Shakespearean and historical essays are also available online at bard.org and his most recent essays were published in Matthew Wilhelm Kapell’s Star Trek as Myth: Essays on Symbol and Archetype on the Final Frontier and in Robert Kahn’s Movies: The Ultimate Insider’s Guide. Professor Pilkington (with his wife Olga) is an editor and translator of Fairy Tales of the Russians and Other Slavs--a collection of the best Russian fairy tales plus stories from the other Slavic countries, from Ukraine and Poland, from Slovakia and Serbia, from Belorussia and the old Yugoslavia. It also contains stories from the Kiev Cycle. This is a collection for people who like to read fairy tales and even perhaps for those who don't. The book contains the broadest selection of Slavic fairy tales and legends currently in print with sixty-eight stories, ten newly translated. Even those who have read all of the Afanasiev collection of Russian Fairy Tales will find something new—four stories never before published in English. Though the book is not designed for scholars, it does include a detailed glossary, an introduction, and a comprehensive bibliography for those who want to find out more.
