Legendary SF author Damon Knight discusses science fiction from before the
genre was established. He begins with early tales of moon voyages (Lucian,
Cyrano de Bergerac) and contrasts 19th-Century authors Edgar Allan Poe and Jules
Verne. This interview is the 1st of two Knight excerpts from the
Literature of SF DVD and is brought to you by
AboutSF and the Center for the Study
of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas.
