Description
The History of Science Fiction by Adam Roberts is a comprehensive critical history of the genre. First published in 2006, this revised edition has been thoroughly expanded and updated to cover the development of science fiction from Ancient Greece to the present day. The author's groundbreaking thesis is supported by a wide range of new research and readings, including hundreds of previously unpublished 17th- and 18th-century science fiction texts.
