| Zusammenfassung: | "Science fiction may have begun in the American pulp magazine industry in 1926 but its origins lay in the British tradition of the scientific romance, whose mastery by H.G. Wells in his Victorian youth (1895-1901) makes him the "father of modern SF" (Jules Verne is a more distant ancestor who lived to be a rival). Wells's most self-conscious descendant is Robert Heinlein, whose rapid rise to fame during the magazine era made him "the dean of American SF." He so succeeded in winning literary recognition for the genre that it all but vanished into the mainstream, save for a lingering identity in classified paperbacks and in television programming." "The present work, by a man who taught the subject at the university level for decades, is a critical examination of the literary trajectory of science fiction from the scientific romances of H.G. Wells to the era of Robert Heinlein. Such luminaries as Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, A.E. van Vogt, L. Sprague de Camp, Harry Harrison, Kurt Vonnegut, Brian Aldiss, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Ray Bradbury, Fritz Leiber, C.S. Lewis, and Arthur Conan Doyle are discussed along the way. The roles of various magazines in establishing the genre, an area of the author's special expertise, are fully examined (Hugo Gernsback's Science and Invention, Amazing Stories, and Weird Tales, among others)."--BOOK JACKET. |
