Science Fiction Summary

Science Fiction: A Historical Anthology by Eric S. Rabkin

An invaluable contribution to the serious study of science fiction as well as a highly entertaining collection, Science Fiction contains 27 chronologically-arranged stories and excerpts, ranging from such early classic works as Swift's Gulliver's Travels and Shelley's Frankenstein to recent stories such as Harlan Ellison's I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream and Ursula K. Le Guin's Vaster Than Empires and More Slow. Including brief general essays and a separate introduction to each individual story or excerpt, Rabkin's anthology greatly illuminates the evolution of the genre.

The book contains excellent representative selections for the introduction to each time period.... Excellent.--Thomas Mullen, Slippery Rock College A great collection of literature in the field!--Harvey Solganick, LeTourneau University Exactly what its title proposes, a historical anthology with excellent sense guiding the selections.--Rosemarie Arbur, Lehigh University A good combination of scholarship [and] readability. The best in its field.--Mariel Strauss, North Seattle Community College An excellent book. No other anthology of science fiction covers so broad a historical range of material....The best historical collection of science fiction to date.--Mark Rose, University of California, Santa Barbara A splendid introduction to science fiction: the selections are exemplary and so are the introductions to them.--Gerald Prince, University of Pennsylvania A useful volume, solid, thorough, sensible.--George Girella, University of Rochester This is a type of historical anthology that I had often thought of putting together myself, but somebody else did. Splendid!--Dr. Abul Kalam, Community College of Denver
