Legendary for his turgid prose ("it was a dark and stormy night...") Bulwer-Lytton’s pioneering science fiction novel "Vril" was taken very seriously by 19th Century Atlantis fans (for instance, Scott-Elliot). Vril is a mysterious energy which is used by Lytton’s subterranian race (refugees from the Deluge) to power their advanced civilization; it was later treated as a reality by occultists.
