More about the book

The book explores the distinct evolution of British, French, and American traditions of speculative fiction, highlighting their separate developments over a century with minimal overlaps before 1926. It examines how these traditions continued to evolve with unique themes and narrative styles. The introduction of the American term "science fiction" marked the beginning of a blending process that persisted into the late twentieth century, revealing the complexities of genre fusion.
