Goths And Morlocks

The Time Traveller spends three days in 802,701 AD when he interacts with Morlocks and Eloi. Poul Anderson's Carl Farness travels repeatedly to 300-372 AD when he interacts mainly with Goths. Both authors present colourful descriptions of nature in their respective periods: pre- and post-civilization.

Timecycles are like improved Time Machines. Patrol message shuttles recall the model Time Machine. Patrol milieu HQ is based in the period when The Time Machine was published.

In There Will Be Time, mutant time travellers fast forward and rewind the universe like the Time Traveller and one mutant gives the time travel idea to a young British writer.

Time is a direction of extension both in The Time Machine and in The Corridors Of Time.

The moral as ever: read Wells and Anderson.
