FLECKER, (Herman) James Elroy
- FLECKER, (Herman) James Elroy
(1884-1915)
UK poet, playwright and novelist best known for Hassan (1922), a fantasy play with an Arabian Nights flavour. His only novel, The King of Alsander (1914), was also a fantasy. He is of sf interest for The Last Generation: A Story of the Future (1908 chap), whose narrator is spirited into times moderately close to the present where he witnesses the self-willed extinction of the human race through a refusal to breed more children into this vale of tears. The narrator is then taken much further forward, where he discovers that apes (see APES AND CAVEMEN) are destined to become the masters of the planet and "try again". This tale was later collected along with some fantasies in Collected Prose (coll 1920).
