Autorenporträt
Francis Godwin (1562–1633), an English bishop and writer, was a pioneer in the realm of science fiction with his remarkable work, 'The Strange Voyage and Adventures of Domingo Gonsales, to the World in the Moon.' Often regarded as one of the earliest examples of the genre, this 1638 posthumously published narrative amalgamates travel writing and fantastical elements, predating the more renowned lunar narratives by Cyrano de Bergerac and Jules Verne. Godwin ingeniously crafted the tale of Domingo Gonsales, an adventurer who travels to the Moon aided by a flock of 'gansas,' or giant swans. His narrative is not only entertaining but also depicts an intelligent, organized lunar society that engages readers in philosophical reflections on the nature of civilization. Godwin's literary style in this lesser-known but pivotal work reflects the emerging curiosity of the 17th Century regarding astronomy and the natural sciences, weaving imaginative fiction with early scientific inquiry. A bishop with scholarly inclinations, Godwin's contributions to literature also include religious and historical writings, reflecting his varied intellectual pursuits within the scope of the English Renaissance.
