scientific romance

noun scientific romances

  1. countable, dated, uncountable Science fiction, especially its early form in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Among the younger men who were winning fame—with the surge and thunder that heralded the youth of the nineties—was Rudyard Kipling; the seething brain of H. G. Wells was boiling over into scientific romance; and old romance was brought to life by the charm of Anthony Hope.
  2. countable, uncountable Science fiction written in a deliberately anachronistic style, as an homage to or a pastiche of early science fiction.
