Autorenporträt
George Chetwynd Griffith (1857-1906) carved a niche for himself in the galaxy of science fiction and speculative fiction writers during the late Victorian era, contributing to the genre with his imaginative storytelling and adventurous plots. A contemporary of H.G. Wells, Griffith captured the fascination of his readers with speculative and sometimes prophetic depictions of science and technological advancement (Stableford, 2017). 'The Romance of Golden Star,' published in 1891, exemplifies his penchant for crafting tales that blend historical romanticism with science fiction elements, displaying his narrative dexterity and ability to entertain while subtly critiquing societal norms of his time. Griffith's literary style is noted for its vivid description, dynamic characters, and a forward-looking perspective that often anticipated future events and inventions (Seed, 2016). His other prominent works include 'A Honeymoon in Space,' where he envisioned space travel long before it became reality, and 'The Angel of the Revolution,' which reflects his interest in aerial warfare and political upheaval (Clute & Nicholls, 1995). Though less known than his peers, Griffith's oeuvre remains an important part of the foundation of science fiction literature.
