Mrs Jane Loudon Books

Jane Webb Loudon was an English author and an early pioneer of science fiction, writing before the term was even coined. Her works were discussed for a century as if they belonged to Gothic fiction, fantasy, or horror, yet her approach foreshadowed modern science fiction narratives. Beyond this, she created the first popular gardening manuals, distinguishing them from specialized horticultural works, and also contributed to the efforts of her husband. Her innovative approach to genre storytelling and the popularization of educational topics makes her a unique figure in literature.
