It is the genre that stands in opposition to literary modernism.\" So says David G. Hartwell in his introduction to The Science Fiction Century  an anthology spanning a hundred years of science fiction  from its birth in the 1890s to the future it predicted.  David G. Hartwell is a World Fantasy Award-winning editor and anthologist who has twice before redefined a genre--first the horror field with The Dark Descent  then the subgenre of hard science fiction with The Ascent of Wonder  coedited with Kathryn Cramer. Now  Hartwell has compiled the mother of all definitive anthologies  guaranteed to change not only the way the science fiction field views itself but also the way the rest of literature views the field.  The Science Fiction Century includes stories from the founding fathers of the field  such as H.G. Wells  C.S. Lewis  Jack London  and Rudyard Kipling; beloved mainstays of the genre  such as Philip Jos Farmer  Roger Zelazny  Jack Vance  and Poul Anderson; noted female writers  including Connie Willis  Nancy Kress  and James Tiptree  Jr.; and writers who have hit their stride in the last two decades  such as Bruce Sterling  William Gibson  Michael Swanwick  and James Morrow. Hartwell has also included writers widely recognized outside the genre  such as E.M. Forster  Michael Shaara  and John Crowley; and translations of foreign writers formative works  including Dino Buzzati and Wolfgang Jeschke. This is must-have anthology for all literary interests.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647155691573,"sku":"ByrdShop_0312863381","price":23.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780312863388.jpg?v=1781689477","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-science-fiction-century-9780312863388","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
