Scarecrow Press The Road to Science Fiction
Book SynopsisNow in Paperback! Between an ancient Roman''s trip to the moon and the fantastic tales of H.G. Wells lies a journey through time and space and an awesome evolution in scientific thinking. From Gilgamesh''s search for immortality to Lucian''s odyssey on the moon; from Jonathan Swift''s hilarious satire on scientists in Gulliver''s Travels to Mary Shelley''s horrifying description of a scientist who has gone too far in Frankenstein from Edgar Allan Poe''s balloon trip in the year 2848 to Jules Verne''s prophesies of the impact of scientific inventions on future civilization; from Edward Bellamy''s utopian escape from the industrial Revolution to H.G. Wells''s magnificent story of Earth threatened by an inescapable menace-here are the chief ancestors of the modern science fiction story. For the first time in paperback, these and other key works are gathered together in one anthology, complete with revealing commentary on the authors, their eras, and the role each played in establishing whTrade ReviewAn excellent introduction to the history of the genre. * The New York Times *The best series, historically arranged, of SF anthologies ever assembled...All six volumes belong in the library of every university, school, and teacher and reader of science fiction. Gunn has gathered stories of importance to the development of SF and stories that represent the best writing of the genre. * Anatomy of Wonder, 5th Edition *...provides one of the most comprehensive views of the field and should be required reading for all students of sf. It has withstood the test of time, with classic stories....Gunn's headnotes and introductions remain provocative, even years later. The Road to Science Fiction can be read as an historical document, one that says much about Gunn, his mind, and his take on sf as it does about the state of sf from its roots to its full maturity as a genre. * Science Fiction Studies *Table of ContentsChapter 1 Acknowledgments Chapter 2 Introduction Chapter 3 Science: The New Accelerator Chapter 4 The New Accelerator—by H.G.
