Book Description:
|
Shakespeare and Science Fiction is the first extended study of Shakespeare's influence on the genre. Sarah Annes Brown investigates why so many science fiction writers have turned to Shakespeare when imagining humanity's possible futures. He and his works become a kind of touchstone for the species in much science fiction, both transcending and exemplifying what it means to be human.
