About Frank Herbert
<p>Frank Herbert’s<span> </span><i>Dune</i><span> </span>series is considered one of the most popular and significant contributions to science fiction writing in many decades. After winning the prestigious Hugo and Nebula awards in 1966 for Dune, Herbert went on to write five successive volumes to form a series:<span> </span><i>Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune,</i><span> </span>and<i>Chapterhouse: Dune.<span> </span></i>The fictional world that Herbert created was at once complex, compelling, and instructive, and the series attracted readers of all ages. Herbert’s phenomenal achievements surpassed even that success—he published a total of thirty books in his literary career, twenty-three of which were science fiction novels. Some fans of his speculate that his books spawned the ecological movement in the late sixties and early seventies. Despite the popularity of the Herbert books with general readers and in science fiction courses, the impact of his achievements has been, until now, inadequately assessed.</p><p>William F. Touponce’s authoritative and definitive treatment draws on archival materials, including taped interviews in which Herbert talks extensively about his childhood, recordings of conversations with Herbert about his work, and reproductions of the earliest versions of certain passages that demonstrate the development of the<span> </span><i>Dune</i><span> </span>cycle. With comments from Willis E. McNelly, editor and compiler of<span> </span><i>The Dune Encyclopedia</i><span> </span>and lifelong friend of Herbert, incorporated into the text, Touponce summarizes a vast amount of material describing the creation of the<span> </span><i>Dune</i><span> </span>cycle.</p><p><i>Frank Herbert</i><span> </span>examines what Touponce terms the “Dostoyevskian complexity” of Herbert’s characters, the “polyphonic” quality of the novels, and the evocative themes that permeate his works and reveal a profound questioning of roles that heroes play in our discovery of human potential and limitations. Touponce offers an analysis of Herbert’s concept that the<span> </span><i>Dune</i><span> </span>cycle may be comparable to an “ecological fugue,” in which many different voices are heard, and describes the profound effect of<span> </span><i>Dune</i><span> </span>on the development of the science fiction novel. Tou-ponce’s investigation includes the approach of reader-response criticism, making this an accessible, comprehensive, and up-to-date volume suitable for college courses as well as for readers who are interested in the evolution of this prolific and masterful science fiction writer.</p>
