Alternate history is a genre of fiction that, although connected to
science fiction, has its own rich history and lineage. With its
roots in the writings of ancient Rome, alternate history matured
into something close to its current form in the essays and novels
of the nineteenth century. In more recent years a number of highly
acclaimed novels have been published as alternate histories, by
authors ranging from bestselling science fiction writers to
Pulitzer prize-winning literary icons. The popularity of the genre
is reflected in its success on television, where original concepts
have been developed alongside adaptations of classic texts such as
Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle. This collection of
essays, by both leading scholars in the field and rising stars,
seeks to redress an imbalance between the importance and quality of
alternate history texts and the available critical scholarship on
the genre. The essays acknowledge the long and distinctive history
of alternate history whilst also revelling in its vitality,
adaptability, and contemporary relevance.
