Bulwer-Lytton is legend nowadays for the qualities of his prose:
but we find his prose attractive, in its languid way; and certainly
the man was a profound thinker. Vril is a mysterious energy used by
Lytton's subterranean race -- refugees from the deluge that
submerged Atlantis -- to power their advanced civilization.
Generations of occultists have mistaken this bit of business for
something other than fiction; and still more generations of science
fiction writers have recycled the novel's plot. Vril is a book of
strong interest to anyone doing a scholarly study of the evolution
of SF; it's also a novel well worth reading in its own right.
