I read it in an undergrad English class on the history of science fiction, it is an odd book--you can tell it was written by an Anglican vicar--but definitely worth reading! (So is Blazing World, if you haven't yet--17th-century feminist sci fi!)

I think Veltman is probably the first, then--that one I haven't read, because it's in Russian, but I think I would like to!
