Franklin, H. Bruce. FUTURE PERFECT: AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
Oxford University Press, London, 1968.
402 pp, 8vo (8" H), soft cover. "This selection of unusual stories by important American writers - Hawthorne, Melville, Poe, Bellamy and Twain - and by less well-known tale-tellers such as Ambrose Bierce, S. Weir Mitchell and Fitz-James O'Brien, ch allenges the commonly held belief that science fiction is a twentieth-century phenomenon, or that it began with Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. Here are tales of marvelous inventions, automata, biological and psychological experiments, utopias, e x t r a - s ensory perception and time and space travel. Many of them have been out of print since before World War I, but they remain high in intrinsic interest for the general reader and for the specialist. The accompanying critical essays exp lo re t he r el at ionships between science fiction and other fictional modes, and illuminate the nature of the bonds between science and society and fantasies and social aspirations. Professor Franklin also offers an original, theoretical defini tio n o f s cie nce fi cti on." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - minor edge wear, very small area of surface paper loss at bottom of spine, two soft creases down rear cover, light rubbing, tiny corner crease s, m inor bro wnin g. Very Goo d
