Surrealism and Science Fiction
As one who has an abiding interest in both science fiction and Surrealism, I was remiss for not calling these two titles to the attention of SFS readers when they first appeared last year.To put them into context, it is useful to recall David Ketterer's observation in 1976, in his SFS article "Science Fiction and Allied Literature," where he says that he found it "rather surprising that the considerable affinity which exists between Surrealism an…
Anachronism in Early French Futuristic Fiction
This essay focuses on examples of anachronism—both intentional and unintentional—in several early French “retrofuturistic” novels: Louis-Sebastien Mercier’s The Year 2440 (1771), Emile Souvestre’s The World as It Shall Be (1846), Jules Verne’s Paris in the 20th Century (written in 1863, published in 1994), and Albert Robida’s The Twentieth Century (1882). I examine the many anachronisms in these “tales of the future” through the lens of two diffe…
Culminating a Decade of Scholarship on Jules Verne
During the ten years that have passed since this centennial celebration, Verne scholarship has continued to be surprisingly vigorous.For example, there has been a steady stream of new English-language translations of Verne showing up in the marketplace.And, judged not only by their quantity but also by their quality, they bear out my observation in 2009 that we seem to be "witnessing a veritable renaissance of interest in all things Vernian" ("Ju…

The Apocalyptic Science Fiction of Jacques Spitz
from the 1930s and 40s, wrote a number of sf novels that are definitely worth rediscovering today. Along with José Moselli and Régis Messac, Spitz belonged to the second generation of post-Jules Verne sf writers in France. They followed in the footsteps of J.-H. Rosny aîné, Gustave Le Rouge, and Maurice Renard, whose own pioneering tales were part of a “Golden Age ” of early French sf from the 1890s through the first decades of the twentieth cent…
