Science fiction (SF) has existed as a popular genre for around 150 years. This book
offers a survey of the genre from nineteenth-century pioneers to contemporary authors,
introducing the plural versions of early SF across the world, before examining the
emergence of the 'scientific romance' in the 1880s and 1890s. The 'Golden Age' of
writers' expansive SF pulp was concentrated in the 1930s, consolidated by best-selling
writers like Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein. The contributors to this volume also
track the increasingly diverse forms SF took from the 1950s onwards. Leading international
scholars, writing in an accessible style, consider SF as a 'world' literature, referencing
works from diverse traditions in Latin America, Europe, Russia and the Far East. This
book combines discussion of central figures of the tradition with a new global reach
