The History of Science Fiction

Viac o knihe

The critical history of science fiction explores the genre's evolution from Ancient Greece to the 21st century, with significant updates in the revised 2nd edition. It includes a new final chapter on contemporary works and incorporates extensive new material across all sections. The author's thesis linking science fiction to the 17th-century Reformation is further supported by an array of previously unexamined texts. Additionally, the expanded account of 19th-century science fiction and increased representation of women's contributions highlight the genre's diverse influences, including cinema and comics.
