SENSE OF WONDER is a broad, inexpensive, single-volume anthology
designed to give students a sense both of literature and history;
the book includes canonical works, stories written in response to
those works, and essays on major themes and topics in the field.
The book will facilitate a variety of different types of
speculative fiction course, whether the course is focused on
particular themes, on a chronological look at writers, or on the
roots of contemporary SF. Beginning with early twentieth-century
writers, Sense of Wonder continues up through the most acclaimed
present-day writers. Stories are not treated as purely academic
exercises, but contextualized, which is vital in reading a genre
where most writers know each other and the relationship between
writer and reader is a major factor in how stories are created.
The collection includes more than 200 stories, poems, and
bibliographic essays (contributed by professors who teach science
fiction and by professionals), with an emphasis on the roots of
modern SF. Each story author is given a biographical introduction
as well.
