19th Century Science Fiction?

[Atheist-Lite]

All I know is Jules Verne. Have we any experts here?

H. G. Wells?

I've read a few SF books by Wells in recent months; the first time I've read them properly. I've enjoyed them immensely!

If you don't mind delving into late 19th century dime novels, look up Frank Reade, a character who was depicted as getting up to all sorts of weird adventures, involving a quite fantastic array of airships, some of them with added helicopter rotor blades and other add-ons, whose antics were, it has to be said, regrettably typical of the age ... scaring the shit out of various tribes of brown people, shooting dead all sorts of exotic fauna as trophies, and generally being a colonialist busybody.

EDIT: nice website featuring Frank Reade, his assorted companions, and the wacky airships here.

... published all of his books during the 20th century.

For that matter, most of Wells' were published then too - although his 19th century sci-fi is best known.
