    This book makes a case for the novel idea that science fiction comes out of The Time Machine as a literature of re-visions as well as of visions.?Re-vision? in the pertinent sense finds its analogue in the succession of hypotheses that the Time Traveller comes up with regarding a future which perpetually changes under his scrutiny. Rather than being another term for?recursivity?, then,?re-vision? involves the imaginative reconception of some prior text so as to elicit from it a latent meaningful possibility which the original vision was, so to speak, either not fully conscious of or not con.

    Renowned science fiction scholar Robert M. Philmus offers in Visions and Revisions a fresh and provocative literary analysis of science fiction writing. He critically examines the works of some of the most prominent writers to have written in the genre—including Evgeny Zamiatin, Karel Capek, Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino, and Stanislaw Lem, along with English-language authors from H.G. Wells to Ursula Le Guin—and reveals how their works illustrate the fundamental elements of science fiction writing. The former editor of Science Fiction Studies, Philmus casts his expert eye on a diverse range of short stories and novels by the premier arbiters of the craft, with close readings that draw upon the theories of New Criticism as well as post-Modern. Featuring essays such as “Stanislaw Lem’s Futurological Congress as a Metageneric Text,” “Kurt Vonnegut: Historiographer of the Absurd: The Sirens of Titan,” “Ursula K. Le Guin and Time’s Dispossession,” and “Time Out of Joint: The World(s) of Philip K. Dick’s The Man in the High Castle,” the volume provides an in-depth textual examination that reveals why science fiction is a “revisionary genre.” Visions and Revisions will be of immense value to scholars of literature and science fiction studies Swift, Zamyatin, and Orwell, and the language of utopia -- Generic configurations of A story of the days to come -- Re-visions of The time machine -- Stanislaw Lem's Futurological congress as a metageneric text -- Karel Čapek's can(n)on of negation -- Olaf Stapledon's tragi-cosmic vision -- C.S. Lewis and the fictions of "scientism" -- Kurt Vonnegut, historiographer of the absurd : The sirens of Titan -- Jorge Luis Borges and the labyrinths of time -- "Elsewhere elsewhen otherwise" : Italo Calvino's cosmicomic tales -- Ursula K. Le Guin and time's dispossesion -- Time out of joint : the world(s) of Philip K. Dick's The man in the high castle -- A revisionary construction of genre, with particular reference to science fiction
