AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Discover original steampunk tales in this anthology of stories written before there were actual rocketships, atomic power, digital computers, or readily available electricity. The modern day steampunk genre is a reinventing of the past through the eyes of its inventors and adventures, but this collection is from real Victorians and Edwardians who saw the future potential of science and its daring possibilities. Steam-powered automobiles, submarines, and robots are featured alongside great airships and spaceships in these bold and creative stories of hope, triumph, and disaster' (back cover).
Notes
-
Steampunk Note: This story contains what we might understand as 'proto-steampunk': works that play into the themes, cosmetic elements and aesthetic features of steampunk, but predate its emergence as a distinct textual field. Often these stories were written from within the Victorian era, and acted more as pure science fiction rather than the kind of genealogical approach of a futuristic re-imagining of the past that characterises steampunk.
