Reviews

It communicates a great deal more about the shape and texture of the nineteenth-century intellectual and literary landscape. It is an intelligent and admirably comprehensive study that is sure to find an appreciative audience among scholars in and around the humanities. It will be a special treat for sf fans eager to learn about the complex conditions out of which the genre arose. (Stephen Dougherty, Science Fiction Studies, Vol. 46, 2019)
