title: Alien Encounters: Anatomy of Science Fiction
author:  Mark Rose 
description: [Rose] writes pleasantly and translucently in his important study, <i>Alien Encounters</i>...He persuasively argues that `the opposition of human versus inhuman...defines the field of interest within which science fiction as a genre characteristically operates'...He has something fresh and apposite to say, and goes a good way toward a ground-breaking definition of science fiction's characteristic concerns. These appear not only in the surface structures of science fiction, but also lurking within its subterranean metaphors. (Peter Nicholls <i>Washington Post Book World</i>)<br /><br />An established Spenser and Shakespeare scholar here takes science fiction seriously. Without trying to borrow respectability for it, he places it within the context of recent western ideas and belles-lettres...[and] offers it as the most responsive vehicle for the alienated modern sensibility. (<i>American Literature</i>)
