Between the years of 1886 and 1939, the world saw the first
automobiles, rapid urbanization, the decay of empires, vast
economic inequality, the first airplanes and the terrifying secrets
of the atom. It was a time of cataclysmic cultural and
technological transformation in both the United States and the
United Kingdom, and spawned the rise of the literary genres of
science fiction, fantasy and horror. This work assembles gems of
late nineteenth and early twentieth century genre literature,
including stories by literary giants such as H.P. Lovecraft, Robert
E. Howard, C. L. Moore, A. Merritt and E. M. Forster, as well as
smaller authors like Clare Winger Harris, Marie Corelli, William
Hope Hodgson and others. An array of incisive nonfiction pieces on
cultural and scientific advances of the time period provides
context for the anthology's stories.
