''The Great Romance'' is a science fiction and Utopian novel, first published in New Zealand in 1881. It had a significant influence on Edward Bellamy's ''Looking Backward'', the most popular Utopian novel of the late nineteenth century.〔Dominic Alessio, ed., "''The Great Romance'', by The Inhabitant," ''Science Fiction Studies'', # 61, Vol. 20 Part 3 (November 1993), pp. 305-40.〕 ==The book== ''The Great Romance'' is a short novel, originally published in two parts. The texts appeared anonymously: authorship was attributed to The Inhabitant, "a pseudonym common at the time for guidebooks in the United Kingdom and the United States...."〔Alessio, p. 305.〕 The work is one aspect of the major wave of Utopian (and dystopian) literature that characterized the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In the English-speaking world, that literature is best known in its American〔Jean Pfaelzer, ''The Utopian Novel in America, 1886–1896: The Politics of Form'', Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Press, 1974.〕〔Kenneth Roemer, ''The Obsolete Necessity, 1888–1900'', Kent, OH, Kent State University Press, 1976.〕 and British〔Matthew Beaumont, ''Utopian Ltd.: Ideologies of Social Dreaming in England 1870–1900'', Leiden, Brill Academic Publishers, 2005.〕 expressions; but ''The Great Romance'' illustrates how that wave of utopian fiction reached into the remoter regions of the Anglophone domain. An 1882 article in the Christchurch newspaper ''The Star''〔''The Star'', (5 January 1882 p.3 )〕 identifies the author as "Mr Henry Honor, a gentleman resident in Ashburton". A review of both parts of the book appeared in the Dunedin ''Otago Daily Times'' in 1882.〔Dunedin ''Otago Daily Times'', (18 February 1882 p.1 )〕
