Primarily self-educated, Griffith held many jobs during his early years including sea-apprentice, butcher, schoolmaster and journalist, among others. An avid sailor, Griffith travelled all over the world and was credited with finding the source of the Amazon River. His work was extremely popular and from 1893 to 1895, Griffith's science fiction outsold even H.G. Wells, who grudgingly admired him. An outspoken critic of America and American policies, Griffith's works were never published in the US. His main works include The Angel of the Revolution (1894), Olga Romanoff (1894), Valdar: Briton or Boer? (1895), The Virgin of the Sun (1898), A Honeymoon in Space (1901) and The Lake of Gold (1903). |
