BUCHANAN, Robert Williams

BUCHANAN, Robert Williams
(1848-1901)
   UK man of letters whose sf novel, The Rev. Annabel Lee: A Tale of To-Morrow (1898), posits a 21st-century society whose rationalist ideals leave a void in the bosom of the Christian Rev. Lee, who violates eugenic taboos and by so doing manages to create in her banned choice of husband a martyr to the new supernaturalism.
