Overview: Until recently, speculative fiction was viewed as popular entertainment and was long denied the mantle of literary respectability. The insistence of characterization as the major criterion of literary judgement contributed to this appraisal. Whereas "mainstream" fiction concerns itself with characterization, speculative fiction emphasizes ideas. Yet the ideas in speculative fiction cannot exist without characters any more than characters in traditional fiction can exist in a vacuum. With the recognition that the differences between speculative and mainstream fiction were more of emphasis than of kind, the barriers that long divided the two are being dismantled and speculative fiction is experiencing critical acceptance as a legitimate literary form.The selections included in Past, Present, & Future illustrate the continuous vision of speculative writing from its classical precursors to its contemporary practitioners.Contents:Preface (Past, Present, and Future Perfect), by Jack C.
