Résumé

In 'The Great War of 189-: A Forecast, ' readers are presented with a fascinating compendium whose thematic essence gravitates around speculative fiction, forecasting a war that, at the time, rested in the realm of possibility rather than reality. This collection harnesses a varied spectrum of literary styles, comprising essays, narratives, and analyses that together paint a multifaceted picture of the geopolitical tensions and technological advancements of the era.
The diverse literary techniques employed across the anthology not only showcase the richness of imagination but also highlight the distinct yet interconnected fears and hopes for the future held by each contributor.

Rooted in the cusp of the 19th and 20th centuries, their collective experiences and perspectives imbue the collection with an authenticity and depth that aligns with the historical, cultural, and literary movements of the time. These variegated voices, informed by the real-world implications of warfare and its advancements, coalesce to enrich the reader's understanding of potential future conflicts, mirrored through a late 19th-century lens.
