''Bid Time Return'' is a 1975 science fiction novel by Richard Matheson. It concerns a man from the 1970s who travels back in time to court a 19th-century stage actress whose photograph has captivated him. In 1980, it was made into the cult classic film ''Somewhere in Time'', the title of which was used for future editions of the book. Matheson has stated, "''Somewhere in Time'' is the story of a love which transcends time, ''What Dreams May Come'' is the story of a love which transcends death.... I feel that they represent the best writing I have done in the novel form."〔Matheson, Richard. ''Somewhere in Time''. New York: Tom Doherty Associates, Inc., 1998, pp. 318-319.〕 ==Background== While traveling with his family, Matheson was entranced by the portrait of American actress Maude Adams in Piper's Opera House in Nevada. "It was such a great photograph," Matheson reports, "that creatively I fell in love with her. What if some guy did the same thing and could go back in time?" Then Matheson researched her life and was struck by her reclusiveness. To create the novel, he resided for many weeks at the Hotel del Coronado (where the novel takes place) and dictated his impressions into a tape recorder while experiencing himself in the role of Richard Collier.〔Diaz de Chumaceiro, Cora L. "Maude Adam's Portrait as Muse for Richard Matheson." ''Creativity Research Journal'', 2005, Vol. 17, Issue 2/3, pp. 297-8.〕 Matheson based much of the biographical information about the character of Elise McKenna directly on Adams. The book's original title comes from a line in Shakespeare's ''Richard II'' (Act III, Scene 2): "O call back yesterday, bid time return."
