New Speculative Literature page<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

We have this week added a new page to our website: ‘Speculative Literature<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Speculative Literature?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

There are broadly two type of speculative literature: speculative fiction and speculative non-fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Speculative Fiction?<\/h5>\n\n\n
\n

What is Speculative Fiction? Speculative fiction is a broad genre of fiction that includes, but is not limited to, all the sub-genres that exhibit elements of non-realism. For example, Wikipedia<\/a> lists under its entry for speculative fiction the following sub-genres: science fiction<\/a>, fantasy<\/a>, horror<\/a>, slipstream<\/a>, magical realism<\/a>, superhero<\/a>, alternate history<\/a>, utopian and dystopian<\/a>, fractured fairy tale<\/a>, steampunk<\/a>, cyberpunk<\/a>, weird fiction<\/a>, fairytale<\/a>, and post-apocalypti<\/a>c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speculative Fiction Also Includes<\/h5>\n\n\n
\n
\"Speculative
Speculative fiction also<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Speculative fiction<\/a> can also include fiction which transcends reality in ways that are not easily categorized by any of the above sub-genres. Authors who seek a freer type of fiction than that prescribed by the above sub-genres, will describe their work as speculative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Speculative Non-fiction?<\/h5>\n\n\n
\n
\"Speculative
Speculative Non-fiction<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Speculative non-fiction takes non-fiction and explores the what-if that is usually associated with speculative fiction. However the difference between speculative fiction and speculative non-fiction lies in the subject material and how it is handled. Speculative fiction is first and foremost fiction, but with an element of unreality, while speculative non-fiction is largely non-fiction which extrapolates into the existing reality. That is, the speculative non-fiction does not contain elements of unreality but rather elements of extended reality, much as an unrealized engineering design proposes a future engineering reality which is possible but not yet built, and may never be built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Differing Opinions<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

There appears to be some divergence of opinion, or ambiguity of definition, for \u2018speculative non-fiction\u2019. Nevertheless, we at Seaswell Publishing stand by the above description for \u2018speculative non-fiction\u2019. Some of the alternative definitions of \u2018speculative non-fiction\u2019 that we have seen seem more like \u2018speculative fiction\u2019 to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
