Scientific romance

Scientific romance is an archaic name for what is now known as the Science Fiction genre.

Scientific romance is generally held to have started with Jules Verne's novel Journey to the Center of the Earth.

The term scientific romances, however, is generally associated with H.G. Wells, as he used this to describe many of his novels before the advent of the science fiction genre.
