Hartwell.) There have been many space opera series over the past few decades that have served readers well, providing hours of immersive escapism and stellar world building.
(For a terrific selection of space opera stories that showcase the evolution of Space Opera stories, check out the massive anthology The Space Opera Renaissance edited by Kathryn Cramer and David G. It wasn't long before space opera redeemed itself and became a favorite sub-genre of sf fans. The "space opera" label was originally used as a pejorative when it was coined by Wilson Tucker in 1941 to refer to the "outworn spaceship yarn". The stories are usually grand in scope (as measured in distance, time and/or number of characters) and offer endless corners in which authors can write their stories. Space opera settings include locations usually associated with outer space, like spaceships and other planets. Space opera stories are ones in which the narrative emphasis is on melodramatic adventure.
As a reader of science fiction, I can think of few sub-genres that server that purpose better than space opera. Among the reasons people read fiction is escapism.
