Science
fiction
and fantasy currently enjoy both popularity and academic
respectability. After some forty years of scholarship, a number of negative critical
assumptions once widely associated with them (that they were juvenile, escapist,
easy to write, and so on) have long since been put to rest. One last assumption,
however, has stubbornly persisted. Repeatedly and in many places, it is often
claimed that these genres tend to fall short, often miserably so, when it comes
to the matter of style. Taking the study of science fiction and fantasy in a new
direction, this exciting book demonstrates that the issue of style in these genres
has been largely misunderstood and thus massively underrated. In a series of
literary-linguistic analyses ranging over a variety of texts, Language in Science
Fiction and Fantasy demonstrates that style in these genres is an essential
and effective means of imagining future Englishes, suggesting past Englishes,
presenting the impossible as real, and constructing compelling characters.
Covering both British and American fiction and television, this wide-ranging and
perceptive book will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students of
stylistics, cultural studies, and English literature, and to those with an interest in
science fiction and fantasy.
