The volume approaches Greeleys novels by comparing him to the
19th-century French writer Honore de Balzac. A prolific and popular
author, Balzac recorded his milieu in tremendous detail, created a
fictional universe peopled by hundreds of characters, and explored
the role of Catholicism in his world. Because of his training as a
sociologist, Greeley brings to his novels a thorough knowledge of
popular culture and social theory. And because of his experience as
a Roman Catholic priest, he has gained special knowledge of vice,
virtue, and the workings of the Church. Like Balzac-now a major
canonical author-Greeley has created a world of numerous fictional
persons, mapped the details of his culture, and explored the place
of Catholicism in contemporary life.

During the first part of the nineteenth century, the Lost Worlds
Romance, a new literary form, appeared in which an explorer, most
often a scientist, made a voyage to what was then considered to be
a remote part of the earth where he discovered a fantastic lost
world. This book surveys the Lost Worlds Romance from its
beginnings as it evolved from travel literature and utopian fiction
to its eclipse when there were no more unexplored corners of the
earth and it took to the stars, evolving into modern Science
Fiction. Interestingly, these romances reflect the developing
natural and social sciences of the times in which they were
written. The themes of evolution, teleportation, human longevity,
euthanasia, other dimensions, reincarnation, uses of radium,
utopian and dystopian societies, among many others, play a
prominent part in the discussion of these works. Darwin, Marx, and
Freud are shown to have especially influenced the authors of these
romances. The book also demonstrates that at a time when the sexual
mores of mainline fiction were fairly repressed, writers of the
Lost Worlds Romance were permitted much liberty with the erotic
imagination. The treatment given to women in these romances is
explored.
