Download or read book Science Fiction written by George Slusser and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In what N. Katherine Hayles describes as "this enormously ambitious posthumous volume," renowned scholar George Slusser offers a definitive version of the argument about the history of science fiction that he developed throughout his career: that several important ideas and texts, routinely overlooked in other critical studies, made significant contributions to the creation of modern science fiction as it developed into a truly global literature. He explores how key thinkers like René Descartes, Benjamin Constant, Thomas DeQuincey, Guy du Maupassant, J.D. Bernal, and Ralph Waldo Emerson influenced and are reflected in twentieth-century science fiction stories from the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Poland, and Russia. The conclusion begins with Slusser’s overview of global science fiction in the twenty-first century and discusses recent developments in countries like China, Romania, and Israel. Hayles’s foreword provides a useful summation of the book’s contents, while science fiction writer Gregory Benford contributes an afterword providing a personal perspective on the life and thoughts of his longtime friend. The book was edited by Slusser’s former colleague Gary Westfahl, a distinguished scholar in his own right.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between the literature and the anthropology of the eighteenth century is studied here on a double level: on the one hand that of literary production, with analysis of novels, collective works or autobiographies, and on the other hand that of poetical theory and the paratext, with the study of titles and forewords of novels and travel journals. These different studies converge in the fundamental idea that literature functions as a thought experience that allows us to transgress the borders of knowledge of man. French text.
