George Griffith

    George Griffith was een Britse sciencefictionauteur en ontdekkingsreiziger wiens visionaire verhalen in tijdschriften en romans verschenen. Hoewel zijn verhalen misschien wetenschappelijke nauwkeurigheid en literaire gratie misten, compenseerden ze dit met pure uitvoeringsdrang. Zijn revolutionaire en socialistische opvattingen, hoewel ze zijn erkenning in de VS belemmerden, droegen bij aan zijn immense populariteit in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Griffith's stijl wordt gekenmerkt door een aanstekelijke energie en grenzeloze verbeeldingskracht.
