He examines a range of fictional and non-fictional fin-de-si cle writing around distinct scientific themes: Martian communication, future prediction, X-rays, and polar exploration. Every chapter explores a major work of H. G. Wells, but also presents a wealth of exciting new material drawn from a variety of late Victorian periodicals. Arguing that the publications in which they appeared, as well as the stories themselves, played a crucial part in the development of science fiction, Tattersdill uses the form of the general interest magazine as a way of understanding the relationship between the arts and the sciences, and the creation of a new literary genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Will Tattersdill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1316507874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316507872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Will Tattersdill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44122926612735,"sku":"9781316507872","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c3e2c4a-2f02-4dad-8a00-b732edb91a25.jpg?v=1687427914","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/science-fiction-and-the-fin-de-sicle-will-tattersdill-9781316507872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
