Steampunk: The Art of Victorian Futurism is that kind of book.Yesterday, while doing "face time" with my daughter, I was showing her the pictures. I flipped through the pages as she leaned closer to her phone to see on the small screen. I'm sure she wasn't getting the full effect, but my excitement spurred her to squint and admire.So, why is the book so great?Four reasons:First and foremost, the pictures and illustrations. I'd estimate the book devotes two thirds of its pages to excellent, high quality photographs. I've included three in the post so you can have a little taste of what you'll get.It does a good job of exploring the literary roots of Steampunk, including a run down of authors who influenced the literary movement. I enjoyed the pictures of magazine covers from the old pulp-fiction writing of the 1800s.There's good coverage of early, middle, and contemporary Steampunk authors. I sometimes found the prose a little dull, but over all it held my interest.It addresses the sub-cultures that have emerged from the Steampunk literary movement: writers, books, magazines, fashion, art, cosplay, craftsmanship, music, conferences and exhibits.I expected The Art of Victorian Futurism to focus on the art, but the book went beyond my expectations. I have to give Jay Strongman kudos for selecting and showcasing excellent photographs and illustrations. Also, in the early chapters, he gives detailed background information on Steampunk's beginnings and the movement's progress up to 2011. He managed to be at once brief and detailed, a nice balance, which allowed him to devote much of the book to art.I recently reviewed another Steampunk book: The Steampunk Bible by Jeff Vandermeer. The strength of Vandermeer's book is that it devotes more space to the Steampunk movement in all its facets. There are some lovely pictures as well, but the emphasis on Steampunk history, development, and current trends provides a solid knowledge base for anyone interested in the movement. I think the two books complement each other and provide a nice Steampunk library.I don't often give a book a 5 star rating. This deserves top rating. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Those silently darksided wiley Vìctorians! *by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2022* The print paper, almost like photographs, magnificently well built book as are all the Steampunk library collective.Seemingly appear far more spendy than reality offers. I enjoy the creativity and abstractness* of the devices and clothing of the FANTASTIC imaginations of days past and still now. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Victorians were not just romantics, they were "closet" inventors of automation with a flair for the unusual. *by B***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2013* I am a retired High school and junior college English teacher who, through self teaching, found a way to excite readers about the unique Victorian era. I like the funkiness of this book, the beautiful illustrations, the details, everything. I have spent hours devouring every section of this book. There was much more to this era than just romantic novels like Jayne Eyre. However I do love the tomes associated with it too! I became a literature/history junkie when I got into my first great history class in Texas Tech where I had one of the most interesting professors who made this subject come alive for me. We never did any fill in the blank sentence completions! We discussed, we role played the characters. I was hooked forever. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1733070-jay-strongmansteampunk-the-art-of-victorian-futurism](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1733070-jay-strongmansteampunk-the-art-of-victorian-futurism) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
