FROM THE 16TH TO THE 19TH CENTURY SCIENCE FICTION AMERICAN LITERATURE FROM THE 16TH TO THE 19TH CENTURY Welcome to our Sci-Fi Channel Our focus today is on the Science Fiction American Literature from the 16th to the 19th century. Alicia Alonso and Sara Madera

Table of contents The origins of Science Fiction. Science-Fiction American Literature from the 16th to the 18th century Science-Fiction American literature in the 19th century And Sara, what we are going to learn today? Today, we are going to deal with the following issues, starting with the origins of Science fiction.

The origins of Science Fiction Greek mythology “A True Story” (2th century) Frankenstein (1818) Many experts concluded that the first elements of science fiction were found in the Greek Mythology. More specifically when Dédalo built some statues of wood which were able to move. Also, the first idea of traveling to the moon was narrated by Luciano of Samosata in the Truth History. However, Frankenstein was the first similar novel to the current concept of science fiction.

Science-Fiction American Literature from the 16th to the 18th century. Utopia by Thomas More (1516) The man in the moone by Francis Godwin(1638) Gulliver´s Travels by Jonathan Swift (1726). Those are interesting authors Sara, however non of them were American authors from the 16th to the 18th century ,let me talk you through why there wasn´t american authors during those periods. The reason is that on those times the USA was a new nation and wasn´t developed enough yet. In any case people had to read sth when they were bored , so they read literature from other countries.

Science Fiction in the 19th century Edgar Allan Poe Nathaniel Hawthorne Edward Sylvester Edward Bellamy Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) Turning now to the authors of the 19th century, we are going to start talking about Edgar Allan Poe who was a forerunner of this genre. Actually he was a romantic writer. In addition, we consider that he modified the gender in order to adapt it to the new technological advances. First and foremost, we have to take into account that he wrote his books for passion and money. In his science fiction novels he included cosmological speculations and some aspects of mesmerism , as we can appreciate in "The Conversation of Eiros and Charmion", "Hans Pfall" and “Eureka”.

Edgar Allan Poe Born: on January 19, 1809, in Boston. Death: on October 7, 1849 , in Baltimore. He was a forerunner of this genre. "Hans Pfall" (1835) "The Conversation of Eiros and Charmion" (1839) “Eureka” (1848)

Nathaniel Hawthorne Born: on July 4, 1804 Death: on May 19, 1864 He was a Romantic writer “Rappaccini's Daughter” (1844) Secondly, Nathaniel Hawthorne published “Rappaccini's Daughter” which was about a girl who tended a garden of poisonous plants. As a consequence, she became resistant to the poisons, as she started being poisonous. Actually, Nathaniel was a romantic writer.

Edward Bellamy Born: on March 26, 1850 Death: on May 22, 1898 “Looking Backward, 2000-1887” (1888) On the other hand, Edward Bellamy was a socialist American author who studied law. No sooner had he left his studies than he started working as a journalist. He stood out from the other writers as he wrote the novel Looking Backward, 2000-1887. In this novel, the main character who lived in 1887, suddenly woke up in the year 2000 where he found a socialist Utopia.

Edward Sylvester Ellis Born: on April 11 ,1840 Death: on June 20 ,1916. He was a teacher, editor and a major author of dime novels .

The Steam Man of the Prairies (New York: American Novels Publishing Co, 1868) The Huge Hunter, or The Steam Man of the Prairies (New York: Beadle's Pocket Library Novels, 1876) Baldy's Boy Partner, or Young Brainerd's Steam Man (1888) Land of Mystery (New York: Lovell, 1889) as by Lieutenant R H Jayne The Monarch of the Air (1907) Flying Boys in the Sky (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: The John C Winston Company, 1911) Flying Boys to the Rescue (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: The John C Winston Company, 1911) The Dragon of the Skies (London: Cassell, 1915)

"Captain Latham C. Carleton" "Frank Faulkner" "Capt. R. M. Hawthorne" "James Fenimore Cooper Adams" or "Captain Bruin Adams" "Boynton M. Belknap" "J. G. Bethune" "Captain Latham C. Carleton" "Frank Faulkner" "Capt. R. M. Hawthorne"

Samuel Langhorne Clemens(Mark Twain) Born: on November 30,1835 Death: on April 21,1910 He was a journalist , publisher and a riverboat pilot . Author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

“The Great Dark” published in 1898 “Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court “published in 1889 “From The ‘London Times’ in 1904,” 1898

Conclusion So to recap on what we have been saying , the sci-fi literature from the 16th to the 18th century is not too much however there were interesting stories in which they predict the future , or maybe those stories were the ones which inspired those innovations because sci-fi is the literature of ideas.

THE END
