Indeed, both as an area in which the meaning of \"classics\" is actively transformed and as an open-ended set of texts whose own 'classic' status is a matter of ongoing debate, science fiction reveals much about the roles played by ancient classics in modern times. \u003cem\u003eClassical Traditions in Science Fiction\u003c\/em\u003e is the first collection in English dedicated to the study of science fiction as a site of classical receptions, offering a much-needed mapping of that important cultural and intellectual terrain. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume discusses a wide variety of representative examples from both classical antiquity and the past four hundred years of science fiction, beginning with science fiction's \"rosy-fingered dawn\" and moving toward the other-worldly literature of the present day. As it makes its way through the eras of science fiction, \u003cem\u003eClassical Traditions in Science Fiction \u003c\/em\u003eexposes the many levels on which science fiction engages the ideas of the ancient world, from minute matters of language and structure to the larger thematic and philosophical concerns.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrett M.
