Beginning with a dynamic and engaging introduction, Bill Gillard provides accessible introductions to each text to offer key insights into the historical and cultural conditions that led to their publication. The collection features work from a wide range of authors, many for the first time in English translation, including less-familiar voices from the early days of the emergent tradition, and invites an exciting recontextualization of the more well-known texts. Authors include Karel Čapek, Xu Nianci, Franz Kafka, Adela Zamudio, Leopoldo Lugones, Juza Unno, Tawfiq al-Hakim, and others. The first anthology focused on global science fiction during this pivotal era, and this collection offers vital new perspectives on the field by featuring the forerunners of science fiction. It is an invaluable resource for students and teachers of both science fiction and world literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Gillard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1041010494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781041010494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.70d","brand":"Bill Gillard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065334083839,"sku":"9781041010494","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5083f0a-d3cf-4ab5-94d0-5020b3b3136c.jpg?v=1768674507","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-routledge-anthology-of-global-bill-gillard-9781041010494","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
