Lathrop, George Parsons

Entry updated 10 April 2023. Tagged: Author.

(1851-1898) Hawaiian-born author, in US from childhood; his nonfiction appreciation of his father-in-law Nathaniel Hawthorne, A Study of Hawthorne (1876), and his editing of editions of Hawthorne's work, was perhaps intensified by his marriage to the author's daughter in 1871. Lathrop is of sf interest for "In the Deep of Time" (13 December 1896-3 January 1897 The Morning Times), a novella-length tale written "in Collaboration with Thomas A Edison", (or, variously, "the result of conversations with Thomas A Edison"), in which a young man awakens from Suspended Animation in the year 2200, where he is dazzled by numerous Inventions, mostly running on electricity (see Thomas A Edison for further details).
