LLOYD, John Uri

LLOYD, John Uri
(1849-1936)
   US chemist, author of Etidorhpa, or The End of Earth (1895; rev 1901), a metaphysical FANTASTIC VOYAGE in which the narrator is led by a blind humanoid to a LOST WORLD in the interior of the Earth, where he gains occult enlightenment into the higher forms of love (the title is Aphrodite reversed). Etidorhpa, which went through at least 11 editions,is noteworthy for its bitter attack on the rational sciences. Like other notable HOLLOW-EARTH works of the period, it derives from the theories of John Cleves SYMMES.
