Welcome to a course introducing literary genres that are often not treated as literature, science fiction and fantasy.  You may think you know these fields (and you may know more about some aspects of them than I do), but I can almost guarantee that there will be surprises in store for you in this course.

The Timeline for the next few weeks is now posted on the Handouts page. It includes the essays for which you will be primarily responsible.

Check out the Links page for material on this week's readings.
