Title: 2894, or The Fossil Man (A Midwinter Night's Dream)
Date: 1894
Description: 2894, or The Fossil Man (A Midwinter Night's Dream) is part of the Utopia Collection. The novel specifically belongs to the subgenre of feminist utopias; the story reverses traditional gender roles and inserts the protagonist, Lord Ammonite, into a society of "dominant women and submissive men." --- From "The Bookseller and Newsman, Volume 11" (1894): "2894" or THE FOSSIL MAN, by Walter Browne; G. W. Dillingham publishers, New York; paper, 50cts. 12mo. 298 pages. The adventures that befall this dreamer, when, as a fossil man he is brought to life in the Utopia of A. D. 2894; form most amusing reading. Mr. Browne seems to have absorbed the imaginative styles of Rider Haggard and Jules Verne. He seriously accounts for his many marvels with a plausibility which is almost convincing; and at the same time his lines bristle with a sly undercurrent of wit, which is worthy of "Pinafore" Gilbert. A light love story gives a zest to the book; but the ludicrous incidents arising from the loss of the fossil's right hand; which is broken off before his revivificiation; and the many escapades of the man to-day, forms the bulk of the book. --- This novel is a particularly rare work of the English language, and this is currently the only known copy held in a publicly accessible institution. The book was digitized in 2018 as part of an effort to increase accessibility and preserve the work.
