- Synopsis
- [from the back cover] "Olaf Stapledon (1886-1950)--philosopher, novelist, educator, and social activist--had an imagination unlike that of any other author. Along with H. G. Wells he is remembered as one of the most original pioneers of twentieth-century science fiction. This anthology of Stapledon's work offers many of his fictional gems, including sections of his best-known novels, Last and First Men, Darkness and the Light, and Star Maker, and the complete text of a novella, The Flames: A Fantasy and the story "Old Man in New World." Many previously unpublished writings, such as Stapledon's essays, poems, memoirs, and letters round out this collection. Robert Crossley is professor of English at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. He is the author of H. G. Wells and Olaf Stapledon: Speaking for the Future (also published by Syracuse University Press). He is the editor of Talking Across the World: The Love Letters of Olaf Stapledon and Agnes Miller, 1913-1919."
