The History Of Time Travel In Fiction




The idea of time travel probably dates back to the first time a person felt regret and wished she or he could go back in time and avoid whatever mistakes she or he made. But when it comes to time travel in fiction, things are a little murkier. H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine comes to mind, and there’s also Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. Both were written in the 1890s. But Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol was written fifty years prior, and surely that counts? And what about stories since then?
