Percy Greg


Born
in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England, The United Kingdom
January 07, 1836

Died
December 24, 1889

Genre
Science Fiction, Fantasy, Nonfiction


Percy Greg (1836, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk - 24 December 1889, Chelsea), son of William Rathbone Greg, was an English writer who sometimes wrote under the pseudonym Edwin Pallander.

Percy Greg, like his father, wrote about politics, but his views were violently reactionary: his History of the United States to the Reconstruction of the Union (1887) can be said to be more of a polemic, rather than a history.

His Across The Zodiac (1880) is an early science fiction novel, said to be the progenitor of the sword-and-planet genre.
