"The Tale of the Future. the tale of tomorrow, the future in fiction, the romance of the future - these are terms used to describe a literary device that the work of Wells, Huxley and Orwell has made immediately recognisable. This annotated chronological Iist includes all tales of the future (so far discovered) that have been published in the United Kingdom between 1644, the date of the earliest specimen as far as is known. and 1960. The list is preceded by an essay on the origin and development of this brand of fiction and its three main types - the utopian, the political and the scientific romance. A list with particular reference to contemporary literature, for it may well be asked whether the scientific romance is the natural literary product of an age of anxiety." .
