McCANN, Andrew, Popular Literature,Autorship and the Occult in Late VictorianBritain, Cambridge, Cambridge UniversityPress,(Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture, 94), 2014, 202pages.Popular writers such as George Du Maurier, MarieCorelli, Rosa Praed and Arthur Machen drew upon acontemporary fascination with occult practices toconstruct texts that had an intensely ambiguousrelationship to the proprietary notions of authorshipthat were so central to commercial publishing.Through trance-induced or automatic writing, dreamstates, dual personality and the retrieval of past liveschanneled through mediums, they imagined forms ofauthorship that reinvested popular texts with claims toaesthetic and political value that cut against thehomogenizing pressures of an emerging cultureindustry.

MONTROSS, Sarah J., Past Futures :Science Fiction, Space Travel, and PostwarArt of the Americas, Brunswick (Maine),Bowdoin College Museum Art, 2015, 136pages.This book offers a sumptuously illustrated explorationof how artists from the United States and LatinAmerica visualized the future. Inspired variously bythe "golden age" of science fiction, the Cold War, thespace race, and the counterculture, these artistsexpressed both optimism and pessimism abouthumanity's prospects. Past Futures showcases workby more than a dozen artists, including thebiomorphic cosmic spaces and hybrid alien-totemicfigures painted by the Chilean artist Roberto Matta(1911--2002); the utopian Hydrospatial Cityenvisioned by Argentine Gyula Kosice (1924--); andIncidents of Mirror-Travel in the Yucatan, in whichRobert Smithson (1938--1973) layered tropes of timetravel atop Mayan ruins.The book, which accompanies an exhibition at theBowdoin College Museum of Art, also includes anessay by the editor and curator mapping centralthemes; an exploration of how Latin American artistshave depicted astronomic phenomena, utopianprojects, and the modern machine; an essay on space-age art in Argentina during the 1960s; and a study ofSmithson and science fiction.

MOUSOUTZANIS, Aris, Fin-de-sicle Fictions,1890/1990 : Apocalypse, Technoscience,Empire, New York, Palgrave Macmillan, 2014,258 pages.H.G. Wells wanted his epitaph to be 'God damn youall, I told you so'. But how accurate were hispredictions of industrial warfare and global conflict,especially as his descriptions of an aerial bombing ofNew York in War in the Air has been compared to theterrorist attacks of 9/11? Did the late Victorians really'discover the future' or did the 1990s simply recyclethe 1890s? At the aftermath of 2012, this book is'looking backward' and identifies startlingconnections between the apocalyptic fantasies of thelast two centuries' ends and traces intriguing linksbetween Nietzsche and chaos theory, Dracula and TheX-Files, the Borg Queen and H. Rider Haggard'sAyesha, among others.
