Out-of-This-World Reading: A Guide for Lovers of Science Fiction and Fantasy - Heralded by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein in the early nineteenth century and works by Jules Verne and H.G. Wells in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, science fiction emerged as a distinct genre in the 1920s and 30s, when it flourished in magazines. Fantasy, which has its roots in fairy tales and was heavily influenced by J.R.R. Tolkien, first appeared as a marketing label in the 1960s. While science fiction explores the effects of technological advances, fantasy imagines magical other worlds, or this world shot through by magic. Only science fiction has a scientific basis, but the two genres are often linked.
