George Allan England

George Allan England (1877–1936) was one of the most popular science-fiction writers of the early pulp era, second only to A. Merritt in some readers’ eyes. His Darkness and Dawn trilogy strands its hero and heroine in a devastated far-future America and rebuilds civilisation from scratch, a vivid, influential contribution to the post-catastrophe tradition. A committed socialist, he wove his politics through his adventure fiction.
