Robert Scholes

Robert E. Scholes is an American literary critic and theorist. He is known for his ideas on fabulation and metafiction.

He graduated from Yale University. Since 1970 he has been Professor at Brown University.

With Eric S. Rabkin, he published in 1977 the book "Science Fiction: History, Science, Vision", which considerably influenced science fiction studies. In it, they attempt to explain the literary history of the genre, but also the sciences such as physics and astronomy.

Scholes holds honorary doctorates from Université Lumière Lyon 2, France, (1987) and SUNY Purchase (2003). He is a past president of the Semiotic Society of America (1989-1990) and of the Modern Language Association of America (2004) [ [http://www.brown.edu/Departments/MCM/people/scholes/cv.html "Curriculum vitae" at Brown University] ] .
