A quartette party-three violins and a 'cello-sat in summer evening
weather in a garden. This garden was full of bloom and odor, and
was shut in by high walls of ripe old brick. Here and there were
large-sized plaster casts-Venus, Minerva, Mercury, a goat-hoofed
Pan with his pipes, a Silence with a finger at her lips. They were
all sylvan green and crumbled with exposure to the weather, so
that, in spite of cheapness, they gave the place a certain
Old-world and stately aspect to an observer who was disposed to
think so and did not care to look at them too curiously.
Available as single volumes or as a complete set, this collection
traces the evolution of a literary genre: the British speculative
future war novel. Taking science fiction from the 1890s, this set
explores the various ways in which the science fiction tradition
can be interpreted.
