Palgrave Macmillan The History of Science Fiction Palgrave Histories of Literature
Book SynopsisThis book is the definitive critical history of science fiction. 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.Table of ContentsPreface to Second Edition.- Preface to First Edition (2006).- 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) The Contemporary PostApocalyptic Novel
Book SynopsisDiletta De Cristofaro is a Teaching Fellow in Contemporary Literature at the University of Birmingham, UK.Trade ReviewAn interesting addition to the landscape of scholarship not only specifically on speculative fiction and post/apocalyptic literature, but more generally on contemporary literature, literary theory, and cultural studies and for sure one fascinating read. * Journal of Ecohumanism *The Contemporary Post-Apocalyptic Novel is both interesting and thought-provoking. De Cristofaro’s study creates an impetus to reframe not only critical thinking around post-apocalyptic narratives, but also the practical aspect of creating them. * C21 Literature *A theoretical tour de force. * The Year's Work in English Studies *The treatment of the works in The Contemporary Post-Apocalyptic Novel is accessible and lucidly presented. The extensive and effective footnoting offers further avenues for exploration, and the comprehensive explanations of De Cristofaro’s theorization of critical temporalities ethically and accessibly integrates theory across schools and disciplines to produce a rigorously interdisciplinary work. This text may well become required reading for students of contemporary literature—not only sf and speculative theorists. Equally, it may be useful to scholars concerned with how time shapes our present and whether we can act within the confines of narratives of our temporal present and its location in history. * Chelsea Haith, Extrapolation *Set to become a landmark study of 21st century fiction, this wide-ranging, thought-provoking study is an invaluable resource, representing original work of the highest order, from a writer both engagingly readable and critically sophisticated. * Judie Newman, OBE, Professor of American and Canadian Studies, University of Nottingham *Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION Apocalypse Now: Critical Temporalities CHAPTER ONE: Biblical Parodies CHAPTER TWO: Apocalypse America CHAPTER THREE: The New Worlds of the Anthropocene CHAPTER FOUR: After the Neoliberal Future CONCLUSION The Post-Apocalyptic Archive BIBLIOGRAPHY
