John Wyndham by David Seed
This is the first book-length academic study of the work of John Wyndham, a formative figure in postwar British science fictiob. It explores his beginnings in the 1930s and then offers a novel-by-novel examination of his key works, including his short stories. This is complemented by a discussion of his evolving view of science fiction, as revealed through his essays and reviews. In addition, the book reprints for the first time one of Wyndham’s key essays on the genre, 'Science-Fiction: Space-Opera', written in 1955.

'John Wyndham is one of the most important British science fiction writers of the twentieth centurySeed takes us beyond fruitful readings of Wyndham’s four key novels to his pre-Second World War fiction and his later works, revealing why he rightly remains an influential visionary.' - Andrew M. Butler, Editor, Extrapolation
