Vintage Visions is a seminal collection of scholarly essays on
early works of science fiction and its antecedents. From Cyrano de
Bergerac in 1657 to Olaf Stapledon in 1937, this anthology focuses
on an unusually broad range of authors and works in the genre as it
emerged across the globe, including the United States, Russia,
Europe, and Latin America. The book includes material that will be
of interest to both scholars and fans, including an extensive
bibliography of criticism on early science fiction--the first of
its kind--and a chronological listing of 150 key early works.
Before Dr. Strangelove, future-war fiction was hugely popular in
nineteenth-century Great Britain. Before Terminator, a French
author depicted Thomas Edison as the creator of the perfect female
android. These works and others are featured in this critical
anthology.
Contributors include Paul K. Alkon, Andrea Bell, Josh Bernatchez,
I. F. Clarke, William J. Fanning Jr., William B. Fischer, Allison
de Fren, Susan Gubar, Rachel Haywood Ferreira, Kamila Kinyon,
Stanislaw Lem, Patrick A. McCarthy, Sylvie Romanowski, Nicholas
Ruddick, and Gary Westfahl.
