Pics: More scans of Pellucidar. They were so popular, that several versions of the books exist.
1. Dian the Beautiful in the original novel's title page. Drawn by the great Frank Frazetta.
2. Dian again. But, this time in a more modern comicbook adaptation. Or, is it a continuation of the novels?
3. Close up map of the area originally explored in the 1st few novels.
4. Cover of the 3rd book in this inner world series. Concerns the Corsairs, basically pirates.
Fictional Settings:
In the late 1800s, most of the world's maps no longer including any "terra incognito" (unknown lands) in their precise charts.
Sci-fi/fantasy writers needed to find new settings, beyond lost continents & 'darkest' Africa, for their stories.
So, the writers placed their heroes in "technotopias" (advanced scientific or perfected societies), now found in "terra cava" (cavern worlds)...
This allowed authors to mix the 'lost' Western frontier with advanced tech!
It also let writers play add more low tech or primal Lost Race settings - as an attempt to regain an ancient Eden!!
This mix of genres led to a literary expansion into new writing frontiers.
So, the discovery of the solidly ice covered Poles, didn't end the "terra cava" genre. It didn't even end the various 'wild' theories.
Instead, the genre became associated with the New Age philosophy & still survives - now in the Internet...
Among those idea promoters are:
1. Gustav F. Ebding's "Concave Hollow Sphere Theory."
2. Paolo E. Amico-Roxas' "The Endo- Spherical Field."
3. Frederick Culmer's "The Mormon Inner World."
4. Marshal P. Gardner's "Every Planet Hollow Theory."
5. Sherman & William F. Lyon's "The World Agitator & Reconciler Theory."
6. Orville L. Leach's "Earth Geode Theory."
7. F. Amadeo Giannini's "Physical Continuum Theory."
8. Raymond W. Bernard's "Agharta, the Subterranean World."
9. Brinsley Le Poer Trench's "Internal Reptilian World."
Note: There's probably more of these online, but, I'm not going to go into that much detail.
Most of these ideas are long after Lovecraft's time & wouldn't have affected his 1906 scientific article, "The Earth (is) Not Hollow."
