Autor

Charles B. Stilson, an American writer born in the late 19th century, is perhaps best known for his science fiction and adventure novel, 'Polaris of the Snows' (1915). While not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, Stilson made a notable contribution to the pulp fiction genre, primarily through his work published in serialized form. 'Polaris of the Snows' exemplifies Stilson's literary style, blending Arctic adventure with elements of speculative fiction, echoing the early 20th century's fascination with both polar exploration and the emerging possibilities of science fiction narratives. Despite being a product of its time, the novel continues to be referenced as an example of early American science fiction literature. Stilson's protagonists often face extraordinary challenges and embody the era's valorization of heroism and exploration. Although Stilson's bibliography may not be extensive, his work laid some of the groundwork for successive science fiction writers and remains of interest to scholars studying the development of the genre during a period of significant change and innovation in American literature.
