ENG 310 Studies in Literary Genres: Science Fiction
In this course we will consider the development and variety of science
fiction literature, particularly as it has reflected concurrent societal
anxieties. We will begin with early classics, such as H.G. Well's The
Time Machine and Ray Bradbury's R is for Rocket, as well as
works from more contemporary authors such as Phillip K. Dick, Ursula
LeGuin, Harlan Ellison, and Dan Simmons. Since any study of science
fiction is incomplete without films, readings will be coordinated with
public screenings of important science fiction films. This course is
offered in the spring semester. (Not offered 2005-2006)
