No rules govern time travel in these stories. Some characters move by machine, some by magic, others by unexplained means. Sometime travelers can alter the timeline, while others are prevented from causing temporal aberrations. The fluid forms of imagined time travel have fascinated audiences and prompted debate since at least the 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e What is behind our fascination with time travel? What does it mean to be out of one's own era? How do different media tell these stories and what does this reveal about the media's relationship to time? This collection of new essays--the first to address time travel across a range of media--answers these questions by locating time travel narratives within their cultural, historical and philosophical contexts. Texts discussed include \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who, The Terminator, The Georgian House, Save the Date, Back to the Future, Inception, Source Code\u003c\/i\u003e and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew Jones\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer in cinema and television history at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK.
