For all its concern with change in the present and future, science
fiction is deeply rooted in the past and, surprisingly, engages
especially deeply with the ancient world. Indeed, both as an area
in which the meaning of "classics" is actively transformed and as
an open-ended set of texts whose own 'classic' status is a matter
of ongoing debate, science fiction reveals much about the roles
played by ancient classics in modern times. Classical Traditions in
Science Fiction is the first collection dedicated to the rich study
of science fiction's classical heritage, offering a much-needed
mapping of its cultural and intellectual terrain. This volume
discusses a wide variety of representative examples from both
classical antiquity and the past four hundred years of science
fiction, beginning with science fiction's "rosy-fingered dawn" and
moving toward the other-worldly literature of the present day. As
it makes its way through the eras of science fiction, Classical
Traditions in Science Fiction exposes the many levels on which
science fiction engages the ideas of the ancient world, from minute
matters of language and structure to the larger thematic and
philosophical concerns.
