HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn is editor of the RADIUM AGE series of reissued proto-sf adventures from the MIT Press.
During 4Q2024, Josh and the MITP production team will send the series’ two Spring 2025 tiles to press. These include:
- J.D. Beresford’s The Hampdenshire Wonder (March 2025, with a new introduction by Ted Chiang). “Extravagance… but of so remarkable a character that it keeps you almost spell-bound. What follows is philosophy, psychology, poetry, allegory, what you will.” — The Bookman (1911)
- John Taine’s The Greatest Adventure (March 2025, with a new introduction by S.L. Huang). “A mixture of H. Rider Haggard, Conan Doyle, Roy Chapman Andrews, and a bottle of excellent gin.” — California Tech (1929)
Also, Josh and the MITP production team will move the Fall 2025 titles along into the production process. These include: Marietta S. Shaginyan’s Yankees in Petrograd (August 2025, translated and introduced by Jill Roese) and the anthology Before Superman: Superhumans of the Radium Age (August 2025, edited and introduced by Josh).
Here at HILOBROW, meanwhile, we will wrap up the series RADIUM AGE ART. Here’s the 4Q2024 lineup:
1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1931 | 1932 | 1933 | 1934 | 1935
Also, as we have done for over ten years now, we will continue to serialize some of Josh’s favorite Radium Age proto-sf stories and novels. Here’s the 3Q2024 lineup:
- Charlotte Haldane’s Man’s World (1926)
- E. and H. Heron’s “The Story of the Grey House” (1899)
- Raymond Roussel’s “The Demoiselle” (from Locus Solus, 1914); in Josh’s translation
- Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford’s The Inheritors (1901)
HILOBROW will also publish further installments in the series RADIUM AGE POETRY. Here’s a sampling of the 4Q2024 lineup:
