Description

Explore the unexpected connection between Irish literature and science fiction with Space for Peace. This study examines how Belfast authors Bob Shaw and James White shaped the genre during the post-war period. While they gained international respect from legends like Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick, their contributions have remained largely overlooked in Irish Studies. This book investigates the emergence of science fiction in Belfast and how these authors transitioned from local writers to international figures. It offers a unique perspective on how the Irish Troubles and the local environment influenced their speculative work. Perfect for readers interested in science fiction history, literary criticism, and the cultural evolution of Belfast.
