There are quite a few good histories of the genre that might interest you. Aldiss' Billion Year Spree, and the updated Trillion Year Spree are quite good, and a more recent one is Adam Roberts' History of SF.

"Sci-fi's no good!" they bellow till we're deaf,

"But this one's good."

"Then it's not SF!"

Quoted by Brian Aldiss in his history and critque of SF, Billion Year Spree (1973), but the problem goes back a lot further than that.
