The Time Machine by HG Wells
Late nineteenth century London;
Morlocks and Eloi;
beyond them, the Further Vision;
speculation about which period the Time Traveler went to.
The Corridors Of Time by Poul Anderson
The United States, 1965;
Wardens and Rangers;
beyond them, the time wardens;
Malcolm Lockridge leads the tribal confederation that builds Stonehenge and discourages human sacrifice during the transition from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age.
Did I mention before that Poul Anderson is Wellsian and is also a superb successor of both Wells and Stapledon?

Kaor, Paul!
I agree with what you said about PA surpassing Wells and Stapledon. Anderson writes so well that it's easy to overlook the difficulties with the means of time traveling in THE CORRIDORS OF TIME you have been commenting on.
