It was serialized subsequently in the United Kingdom and Australia, and published in book form in the United Kingdom and Canada. Later editions were published from the plates of the Harper and Brothers first edition, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.The satiric and fantastic romance is set in an imaginary semi-tropical land in Antarctica inhabited by prehistoric monsters and a cult of death-worshipers called the Kosekin. Begun many years before it was published, it is reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket and anticipates the exotic locale and fantasy-adventure elements of works of the "Lost World genre" such as Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World and Edgar Rice Burroughs' The Land That Time Forgot, as well as innumerable prehistoric world movies based loosely on these and other works. The title and locale were inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's Ms. Found in a Bottle.

A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder the Annotated by James Mille Pdf

A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder was originally serialized in Harper's Weekly over nineteen installments, from 7 January 1888 (No. 1620) to 12 May 1888 (No. 1638). The story was quickly reprinted in a variety of editions, and in 1969 it was reprinted as a part of the popular New Canadian Library series from McClelland and Stewart. This case study draws on the 2011 edition published by Broadview Press and edited by Daniel Burgoyne.The satirical utopia depicted in the story upends generic conventions and tropes surrounding heroic explorers, genteel society, cultural encounters, and scientific inquiry. De Mille's narrative follows the adventure of Adam More as he encounters the Kosekin people living in a tropical Antarctica. The Kosekins revere death and seek poverty. More's adventure is, in turn, framed by the recovery of his story found in a copper cylinder by a group of upper-class British men, becalmed on the sea in their yacht.

A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder by James De James De Mille Pdf

A Strange Manuscript has two coinciding plot lines, the main one dealing with a British sailor named Adam More. More, who became shipwrecked on the way home from Tasmania, ventures in to a sort of late 1800's "Twilight Zone". Although it is described to be a real place on Earth, he finds an island where prehistoric animals that once roamed all of the Earth live. The island is kept running (in very cold Antarctic temperatures) by a volcano. On this island, he sees ancient plants, animals, and even prehistoric people. Rather oddly, the people of the ancient world have values backwards to that of the normal world. Death is seen as a very good thing, and things like sickness and disease are revered as godly. The people also hate wealth, and the governmental system will punish them if they keep anything considered valuable
