The contributors to this rich and provocative collection explore the diverse strangeness of British science fiction, from literary adaptions like Nineteen Eighty-Four and A Clockwork Orange to pulp fantasies and 'creature features' far removed from the acceptable face of British cinema.Through case studies of 410 0$aBritish popular cinema. 606 $aScience fiction films$zGreat Britain$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aScience fiction films$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a791.43/615 701 $aHunter$b I.
