Reader reviews for Some Kind of Paradise: The Emergence of American Science Fiction (Contributions to the Study of Science Fiction and Fantasy)

From the publisher

Clareson reveals the interplay between literary expressionism and intellectual history and shows how science fiction was a popular response to world events during the period 1870-1930. He emphasizes that at least before World War II, the predominant tone of American science fiction was optimistic and that one way or another--through advanced technology or a return to primitiveness--the writers were going to produce Some Kind of Paradise.
