Description: "[R]eading it will provoke throught, the utopian aim of all scholars." -- Science Fiction Studies "By taking a long historical view of this genre which has become especially popular in today's technological, futuristic age as well as in-depth critical views on some of the most popular and influential works, the collected articles bring a new appreciation of the utopian fantastic literature. It is no longer seen as essentially escapism or fantasy, but as central to the modern psyche." -- Reviewer's Bookwatch/The Midwest Book Review "...highly recommended not only for those interested in utopian, fantastic, or dystopian fiction, but to all students who find it difficult to cope with the variety of theoretical approaches. . . . For those who are well versed in these theories and do not need such an aid, the book will provide ample entertainment and inspiration." -- Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies
