- Description
- Argues for a consideration of texts as "science fiction," even if they were produced before the Enlightenment, and further defines the genre to include any text that combines interests in science and fiction. Includes comparison of CYT to Shelley's "Frankenstein," exploring shared concerns with alchemy's effects upon the body.
