Editorial Reviews
Review
Carl Freedman :

"Philmus succeeds in illuminating every work he discusses. . . . The result is some of the best close readings of science fiction texts that I have seen in a long time, but also a sustained contribution to the theory of genre and to the theory of literature itself."--Carl Freedman, author of Critical Theory and Science Fiction

 

 





Book Description
The former editor of Science Fiction Studies, Robert M. Philmus now casts his expert eye on a diverse range of short stories and novels by the premier creators of science fiction, including George Orwell, C. S. Lewis, and Ursula LeGuin. With essays on such masters of the genre as Stanislaw Lem, Kurt Vonnegut, and Philip K. Dick, the volume provides an in-depth textual examination of science fiction as a truly "revisionary" genre. Visions and Revisions will be of immense value to scholars of literature and science fiction studies.
