GUIDES TO
ESSENTIAL
CRITICISM
Readers Guides to Essential Criticism explore the key critical material
relating to major works and genres of world literature. A clear, informative
narrative examines crucial interpretations and controversies and sets them
in context. From early reviews to cutting-edge readings, the Guides offer a
full account of the ways in which the works and genres have been received
and debated by academics, critics and the public.
Consultant Editor: NicolasTredell
A diverse and fertile genre, science fiction encompasses an extraordinarily wide range of
different sub-genres, styles, tropes and motifs. Though previously regarded as a purely
popular form of little cultural value, academic attention to science fiction has flourished over
the past forty years. In this Reader s Guide, Brian Baker:
•
introduces major critics and critical texts on key areas of science fiction such as the British
and American traditions,
utopias
and dystopias, cyberpunk and science fiction films
•
surveys the attempts to formulate a critical history
•
summarises the main critical trends and developments in the field
•
connects crucial developments within the genre and its criticism with the rise of
theoretical paradigms such as feminism and postmodernism.
Lively and accessible, this is a must-have Guide for anyone with an interest in the
development of science fiction and its surrounding body of scholarship.
