n this year-long project, we will be presenting excerpts from leading
Victorian-Edwardian Scientific Romances and Retro-Futurism, Voyages
Extraordinaires, Imperialist Romances,and Gothic Horror. Its purpose
is to provide an ongoing and simple reader to acquaint the
newly-interested with the classics of the genre, and to reacquaint the
familiar with some old favorites.

Through the course of the year, these works will be presented
according to themes that reflect the broader concerns of
Victorian-Edwardian society, rather than by author or genre. Rather
than label each entry by author, they will be labelled by theme. It is
hoped that by doing so, the reader may gain insight into the era's
zeitgeist as well as familiarity with its literature.

This anthology is an outgrowth of the Voyages Extraordinaires:
Scientific Romances in a Bygone Age weblog, and we encourage you to
visit our original weblog for more on the genre and its modern
imitators.
