Resumo

Periods of invention and discovery are often rich in prophetic and fantastic literature and the nineteenth century was no exception. The theory of evolution, the great number of scientific inventions, the opening-up of hitherto unexplored areas of the world contributed to the creation of a literature of conjecture and prophecy. But alongside the Utopian visions of perfected man living in a world of technical marvels, there also appeared a literature of sybilline foreboding.
