亞當·羅伯茨(Adam Roberts),1965年生,科幻小說作傢、評論傢、學者,劍橋大學博士,現任倫敦大學英國文學教授。作為一名科幻小說作傢,羅伯茨曾得到兩次阿瑟·C. 剋拉剋奬的提名。他的另外一部科幻理論著作是Science Fiction: the New Critical Idiom (2000)。
The first comprehensive critical history of SF for thirty years, this book traces the origin and development of science fiction from Ancient Greece, via its rebirth in the seventeenth century, up to the present day. Concentrating on literary SF and (in the later chapters) cinema and TV, it also discusses the myriad forms this genre takes in the contemporary world, including a chapter on graphic novels, SF pop music, visual art and ufology. The author is ideally placed to write it: both an academic literary critic and also an acclaimed creative writer of science fiction, with five novels and many short stories to his credit. Written in lively, accessible prose, this study is specifically designed to bridge the worlds of academic criticism and the SF fandom. The History of Science Fiction argues that, even today, this flourishing cultural idiom is shaped by the forces that determined its rise to prominence in the 1600s: the dialogue between Protestant and Catholic worldviews, the emerging technologies of the industrial age, and the cultural anxieties and excitements of a rapidly changing world. Now available in paperback, it will be of interest to all students, researchers and fans of SF.
這本書的前八章很精彩,從第九章開始感覺就在湊字數瞭。好在我對科幻這一類型沒什麼特彆的看法,順著作者的思路走下來,覺得很有意思。本書首先對科幻作齣分類,時空旅行和想象性技術。古希臘有奇異旅行,近代開普勒戈德溫的科幻小說是在哥白尼革命之後,科幻小說在哥白尼的宇...
評分長久以來,科幻小說在歐美文學界的處境十分尷尬,在文學批評傢眼裏,它不過是打發時間的流行讀物。科幻小說在文學的等級序列中甚至排在“曆史小說”和“犯罪小說”之後,而麵對所謂的“純文學小說”(literary fiction),就像丫鬟碰到正房太太那樣,卑微到簡直抬不起頭來。“科...
評分亞當·羅伯茨在《科幻小說史》的後記中提到瞭非洲科幻的缺失,其實我更痛心的是中國科幻的缺失,隻字未提的缺失。 西方科幻發軔於宗教改革和宇宙觀大變革時期,其時是1600年,而中國最早見諸的《月球殖民地小說》發錶於1904年,相距達三個世紀。我們可以歸結為中國的治國理念導...
評分後記 21世紀的科幻小說 筆者再以結論的方式重申一下本書的主要觀點,也說明一下選擇特定科幻文本的理由——越往後對於科幻作品必然變得有選擇性。 首先要說的是,筆者並不是在論證“所有科幻小說都編譯進瞭宗教神話”。這種觀點顯然不正確。當代科幻色彩斑駁,精彩紛呈,任何...
