 The SF Site Featured Review: Gullivar of Mars
Edwin L. Arnold Son of Sir Edwin Arnold (1832-1904), the famous orientalist, journalist (chief editor of the London Daily Telegraph), and author of the long narrative epic The Light of Asia (1879), Edwin Lester Linden Arnold (1875-March 1, 1935) was born in Swanscombe, Kent, England and spent most of his childhood in India.
Arnold followed his Phra success with similar stories, the novelette Rutherford the Twice-Born [The Idler, 1892; collected in The Story of Ulla (1895)], and the somewhat tongue-in-cheek Lepidus the Centurion: A Roman of Today (1901) [reprint Arno Press, 1978], which flopped.
Likewise, Arnold owes a significant debt to H.G. Wells, as the beautiful yet slothful Hither Folk and the barbaric yet industrious Thither Folk are clearly cut from the same mould as the Eloi and Morlocks from The Time Machine.

Whether Edwin, later Sir Edwin, Arnold can be called a more popular poet than lord Lytton is a question which might occasion logomachy; but he certainly escaped the unfavourable criticism which, in this way and that, “Owen Meredith” attracted.
Some of it obtained considerable praise, while, on the other hand, there are critics who are seldom able to perceive true poetry in anything that Sir Edwin wrote—his blank verse appearing to them fluently insignificant and his lyrics, with one remarkable exception, 34 lacking life, wanting in intensity and in anything but rather commonplace music.
This is the poem called He and She, the subject being a living husband who sits by the side of his dead wife and implores spiritual communion.

Arnold wrote around the turn of the century; Moore and Munn were writing in the thirties, though their best work was to come later.
It's a better story than Arnold's, better written, more interesting, and benefiting from Munn's having had almost a century more of fantasy writing than Arnold did, upon which to draw for inspiration and technique.
Arnold, Munn, and Moore are all fantasists of yesteryear, and their writing reflects an evolution of the genre.

 The Light of Asia by Edwin Arnold, Notices
Arnold has constructed a poem, which for affluence of imagination, splendor of diction, and virile descriptive power, will not be easily matched among the most remarkable productions in the literature of the day.
Arnold has presented the world with a poem equally striking for the novelty of its conception, its vigor of execution, and the exquisite beauty of its descriptive passages.
Arnold's imaginative gifts are combined with a singularly acute historical sense, and a rare perception of the music of rhythmical harmonies and the curious significance of a felicitous phrase.
