written in 1927 by Julian Huxley
Julian Huxley’s The Tissue-Culture King predates 1927. Reliable bibliographic sources list it as first published in April 1926, with a 1927 reprint in Amazing Stories.
Full reasoning
This date is contradicted by multiple bibliographic sources.
- The Science Fiction Encyclopedia entry for Julian Huxley identifies "The Tissue-Culture King: A Biological Fantasy" as "April 1926 Cornhill Magazine".
- Goodreads’ bibliographic metadata for the work says it was "first published in The Yale Review in Apr. 1926, and later in Amazing Stories, Aug. 1927."
- Wikisource likewise lists "The Tissue-Culture King (1926 in Cornhill Magazine and in The Yale Review, reprinted 1927 in Amazing Stories)".
So 1927 was a reprint year, not the year the story was first published; and because it was already in print in April 1926, it cannot accurately be described as having been written in 1927.
