ISBN10: 1783526785, ISBN13: 9781783526789, [publisher: Unbound Digital] Hardcover The author of Stranger in a Strange Land, Robert Heinlein (1907–88) was one of the pioneers of modern science fiction but his views, which veered between the radical and the reactionary, still cause controversy. This study begins with a biographical chapter before discussing the development of his writing and technique. It then explores the issues present in his stories, articles and speeches: civil society, revolution, race and gender.

ISBN10: 1783526785, ISBN13: 9781783526789, [publisher: Unbound, London] Hardcover Hardcover. Robert A. Heinlein began publishing in the 1940s at the dawn of the Golden Age of science fiction, and today he is considered one of the genre's 'big three' alongside Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov. His short stories were instrumental in developing its structure and rhetoric, while novels such as Stranger in a Strange Land and Starship Troopers demonstrated that such writing could be a vehicle for political argument. Heinleins influence remains strong, but his legacy is fiercely contested. His vision of the future was sometimes radical, sometimes deeply conservative, and arguments have flared up recently about which faction has the most significant claim on his ideas. In this major critical study, Hugo Award-winner Farah Mendlesohn carries out a close reading of Heinleins work, including unpublished stories, essays, and speeches. It sets out not to interpret a single book, but to think through the arguments Heinlein made over a lifetime about the nature of science fiction, about American politics, and about himself.
