Product Description

Review

‘Well designed for reference, for serendipitous browsing, or for systematic study, The Routledge Companion to Science Fiction will be welcomed by novice and veteran scholars alike.’– Carl Freedman, Louisiana State University, USA

'This title should serve as a base for future updates that will continue to enrich knowledge and appreciation of science fiction...Highly recommended.'  Choice

'The Routledge Companion to Science Fiction will, one day soon, become an indispensable guide to sf's history, breadth, and depth for the genre's scholars, authors, and aficionados... The Routledge Companion to Science Fiction to a crucial addition to sf scholarship.  The book most directly appeals to the genre's academic surveyors, but non-scholars will find it fascinating, intelligent, and debatable information in its pages.  This publication's comprehensive, incisive, and useful entries make me wish the Companion a long and prosperous (shelf) life.' Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts

one of the most important and prolific veins of sf before the First World War, the invasion stories and forecasts of future war &quote;

&quote;
Paradigmatic is Weird Fiction's obsession with the tentacle, a limb-type absent from European folklore and the traditional Gothic, and one which, after early proto-Weird iterations by Victor Hugo, Jules Verne, and H.G. Wells, viralled suddenly in Haute Weird Fiction until it is now, in the post-Weird debris of fantastic horror, the default monstrous limb-type. &quote;
