Abstract

Ray Cummings (1897-1957), American pulp sf writer once dubbed the 'American H.G. Wells,' can probably be ranked as the third most popular sf author of the 1920s and 30s, behind Edgar Rice Burroughs and Abraham Merritt. His 1919 masterpiece 'The Girl in the Golden Atom' was arguably one of the most well-known sf novelettes published in the Munsey magazines, and many of his sf works were reprinted as paperback books during the 1950s and 60s. Two of Cummings' magazine stories, however, were never reprinted as books: 'The Fire People' (1922) and 'Around the Universe' (1923). This article is both a general introduction to the early science fiction of Ray Cummings and a discussion of these two largely forgotten sf narratives.

62. A brief history of time travel

Author

Hanks, Robert

Subjects

Abstract

The theme of time travel first appeared in literature with H.G. Wells's 'The Time Machine,' published in 1895. It has been portrayed frequently on film and television ever since, although it is now seen differently. In latest productions, the present is seen to be as easy to manipulate as the future, and modern time travellers are obsessed with changing history. Time travel is now also closely linked with the American ideals of self-determination and the pursuit of happiness.
