MacKAYE, Harold Steele

MacKAYE, Harold Steele
(1866-1928)
   US writer whose sf novel is The Panchronicon (1904). This TIME-TRAVEL story is whimsically condescending about its provincial characters, who travel in a TIME MACHINE (left by a traveller from the future who died) that operates by repeatedly and very rapidly circumnavigating the north pole (to which it is attached by a chain) in the same direction as the Sun. The romance in Tudor England that follows shows some awareness of TIME PARADOX, but little is done with the idea.
