Frankenstein, The Time Machine, Star Trek, Dune, 1984, Blade Runner--science fiction has been explained as a combination of romance, science, and prophecy; as a genre based on an imagined alternative to the reader's environment; and as a form of fantastic fiction and historical literature. It has also been argued that science fiction narratives are the most engaged, socially relevant, and responsive to the modern technological environment. In this Very Short Introduction, David Seed doesn't offer a history of science fiction, but instead attempts to tie examples of science fiction to different historical moments, in order to demonstrate how science fiction has evolved over time
Gr. 9-12. One of 5 volumes in the Backgrounds to American Literatureseries, this book focuses on American Romantic literature and transcendentalism. In addition to discussions of those two movements, the book also addresses the historical and philosophical foundations of Romantic thought; the impact of social reform movements, such as the abolitionists, on literature; and the emergence of uniquely American poets, specifically Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. The brief chapter on transcendentalism offers no more information than what one would find in a standard American literature textbook, and the book also glosses over a discussion comparing the American and English Romantic movements.
