- Description
- Explores the different attitudes toward the Middle Ages presented in science fiction and fantasy literature, while also arguing for a new subgenre called "catapunk" that depicts the Middle Ages in fuller ways. Mentions the false alchemy in CYT, compares Ray Bradbury's short story "The Dragon" (1955) to SqT, and refers to Raymond F. Jones's story "Canterbury April" (1952).
