''Explorers of the Infinite: Shapers of Science Fiction'' is a work of collective biography on the formative authors of the science fiction genre by Sam Moskowitz, first published in hardcover by the World Publishing Company in 1963, and reprinted in trade paperback in 1966. A photographic reprint of the original edition was issued in both hardcover and trade paperback by Hyperion Press in 1974. Most of its chapters are revised versions of articles that initially appeared in the magazines ''Satellite Science Fiction'' and ''Fantastic Science Fiction Stories'' from 1958-1960. The work presents the early history of the genre via a discussion of the lives and works of eighteen of its most important formative authors, followed by a more general discussion of more recent writers. ==Contents== #"Introduction" #"Cyrano DeBergerac - Swordsman of Space" #"The Sons of Frankenstein" (Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley) #"The Prophetic Edgar Allan Poe" #"The Fabulous Fantast, Fitz-James O'Brien" #"Around the Worlds With Jules Verne" #"The Real Earth Satellite Story" (Edward Everett Hale) #"Ghosts of Prophecies Past, or, Frank Reade, Jr. and 'Forgotten Chapters in American History'" #"The Wonders of H.
