| Francis Godwin: Science Fiction Technology and Ideas |
| Francis Godwin (1562-1633) received a master's degree from Christ Church, Oxford in 1583 and doctor of divinity in 1595. His remarkable work The Man in the Moone, or a Discourse of a Voyage thither states a belief in the Copernican system; this work probably influenced both Cyrano de Bergerac and Jonathan Swift. |
