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. 410 0$aPalgrave Histories of Literature 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFiction 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 14$aLiterary History. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 676 $a809 700 $aRoberts$b Adam$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0256840 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255244603321 996 $aThe History of Science Fiction$92511731 997 $aUNINA
