The 2006 first edition of this work traced the development of the genre from Ancient Greece and the European Reformation through to the end of the 20th century. This new 2nd edition has been revised thoroughly and very significantly expanded. An all-new final chapter discusses 21st-century science fiction, and there is new material in every chapter: a wealth of new readings and original research. The author’s groundbreaking thesis that science fiction is born out of the 17th-century Reformation is here bolstered with a wide range of new supporting material and many hundreds of 17th- and 18th-century science fiction texts, some of which have never been discussed before. The account of 19th-century science fiction has been expanded, and the various chapters tracing the twentieth-century bring in more writing by women, and science fiction in other media including cinema, TV, comics, fan-culture and other modes.Palgrave Histories of LiteratureLiterature—History and criticismFictionAmerica—LiteraturesBritish literatureLiterature, Modern—19th centuryLiterature, Modern—20th centuryLiterary Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/813000Fictionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/825000North American Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/834000British and Irish Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000Nineteenth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/821000Twentieth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000Criticism, interpretation, etc.fastLiterature—History and criticism.Fiction.America—Literatures.British literature.Literature, Modern—19th century.Literature, Modern—20th century.Literary History.Fiction.North American Literature.British and Irish Literature.Nineteenth-Century Literature.Twentieth-Century Literature.809Roberts Adamauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut256840BOOK9910255244603321The History of Science Fiction2511731UNINA
