The literature of science fiction, fantasy, and horror has a rich
and glorious history, with roots dating back at least three hundred
years to the fantastic voyage popularized by such works as
Gulliver's Travels, and continuing with an enormously varied
production of novels and story collections through the nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries. Very few of these early tales are
known today, even to connoisseurs of the field. Although some have
been reprinted in small editions by university and speciality
presses, even those penned by the bestselling writers of their day
often remain obscure to the scholars and historians of modern
fantastic literature. Finding descriptions of the books or
information about the authors is difficult at best. Classics of
Fantastic Literature provides nearly 200 essays about these early
works, arranged alphabetically by author and then by title. Each
entry includes bibliographical data, a detailed plot summary, and
background information on the author, where appropriate. A
comprehensive index provides complete access to the material.
Scholars and readers alike will welcome this new guide to the
literature.
