1. The Three Tropographies of Ronald Wright's A Scientific Romance.

Author

McGlamery, Gayla

Subjects
*VOYAGES & travels, *ADVENTURE & adventurers
Abstract

This article describes the book "A Scientific Romance," by Ronald Wright by placing this in a setting somewhere in the time of early scientific adventure with a twist of love. It derives explicitly from a number of sources, most prominently from the grandfather of time-travel fiction—H. G. Wells. It is a book that clearly is both a quest and an adventure narrative along with a bit of lost love. In the end Wright leaves us with a haunting vision of one man clinging to love, a single survivor of the late twentieth century reaching out for human connection as the only source of comfort. In this tale of all the many aspects of science, fiction and visions it is love that he brings to the end as the abiding feeling.
