Olaf Stapledon (1886-1950), philosopher, novelist, educator, and social activist had an imagination unlike that of any other figure in modernist literature.

Along with H.

Wells he is remembered as one of the most original and influential pioneers of twentieth-century science fiction.

This first broadly inclusive anthology of Stapledon's work offers a generous sampling of his fictional gems, including sections of his best known novels, Last and First Men , Odd Men , and Star Maker , and the complete text of two novellas, now back in print for the first time in fifty years, The Flames and Old Man in New World , as well as a selection of other writings, some previously unpublished, including essays, poems, and letters.

These writings reveal the prophetic vision and utopian convictions that run through Stapledon's work, and provide the broad context readers need to grasp the scope of his vision and to appreciate his great epic works, which are classics of science fiction.

About author(s): Robert Crossley , professor of English at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, is editor of Talking Across the World: The Love Letters of Olaf Stapledon and Agnes Miller, 1913-1919 and the author of Olaf Stapledon: Speaking for the Future , also published by Syracuse University Press.
