Synopsis "More Voices From the Radium age (Mit Press (in English)"
An essential collection of proto-science fiction stories that reveals the diverse literary milieu out of which the sci fi genre emerged. A planetary escape pod, an alien body-snatcher, an underground Alaskan city, and a war between the sexes in Atlantis! These are just a few of the outré elements you'll find in More Voices from the Radium Age, a showcase of proto-science fiction edited and introduced by Joshua Glenn. This volume brings together well-known and lesser-known writers in an inclusive collection that features E. Nesbit and May Sinclair, two of the genre's first female writers. More Voices from the Radium Age also introduces readers to writers who have fallen into obscurity, including proto-sf pioneer George C. Wallis, the Russian Symbolist Valery Bryusov, and "weird" horror master Algernon Blackwood. It also includes H.G. Wells, who continued to make startling predictions in the early 20th century, and Abraham Merritt and George Allan England, two of the biggest names in the era of the pulp scientific romance. An essential collection for any sci fi fan, More Voices from the Radium Age is a wild and darkly cathartic ride through the anxieties, fantasies, and nightmares that ultimately shaped the genre we now know as science fiction.
