Reviews

'... engaging and convincing ... Tattersdill demonstrates that the cultural voices of literature and science are not necessarily opposites and that the juxtaposition of the two provided fertile ground for the growth of science fiction as a genre, particularly in the area of popular literature.' Katherine Ford, British Society for Literature and Science Reviews(www.bsls.ac.uk) 'Tattersdill writes shrewdly ... Throughout he insists in a most amiable way that literature and science are intersecting continuums, that building generic or disciplinary walls is as unproductive as the political kind.' Laurence Davies, Review 19 (www.nbol-19.org) '... an exciting and thought-provoking study that speaks not only to fans of Science Fiction but also to scholars of literature and science. Its scholarly and yet accessible style is an important part of its achievement. Much of the material discussed is new and the extensive annotations identify valuable sources of further reading.' Jane M. Ekstam, English Studies
