Interessante Neuerscheinung: Adam Roberts: The Palgrave History of Science Fiction. New York: Palgrave Macmillan 2006. Zum Inhalt: "The first comprehensive critical history of the origins and development of science fiction for many decades, The Palgrave History of Science Fiction explores the genre from an international perspective and in depth. It covers SF from the ancient Greeks, through the rebirth of the genre at the Reformation, with detailed coverage of eighteenth- and nineteenth- century science fiction, and a wide-ranging account of twentieth-century sci-fi in book, film, televisual and comic book forms, concluding with an account of the current state of the genre". Würde das Buch nicht an die hundert Dollar kosten, wäre es schon mein.
Vom selben Autor gibt es auch den Band "Science Fiction", erschienen im Jahr 2000 in der Reihe New Critical Idiom bei Routledge und rezensiert von Martin Lewis auf sfsite.com.
