Description

Roger Luckhurst. Science Fiction. London: Polity, 2005. 305 pp. $24.95 pbk. Back in the early 1990s--back when I believed such things were even possible--I would assuage my anxieties about failing, daily, to write a PhD, by fantasising about afterwards writing a sweeping and magisterial critical history of sf. Then along came two excellent books to ruin my funny little dream: Clute and Nicholls's second edition of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1993) and James's Science Fiction in the Twentieth Century (1994). Between them, they seemed to say it all, to make any further such volumes (encyclopaedias, critical-historical overviews, genre introductions, etc.) redundant. And everyone else seemed to agree.
