Re: Steampunk?!!!!

That's an odd list... no Infernal Devices... Jules Verne? But he was writing during the Victorian Age!... The Time Ships? A sequel to a Victorian novel, yes, but it soon changes to late 20th century hard SF... and Pasquale's Angel? That's set in Renaissance Italy!

Ah well, it seems Damon Knight was right after all: [steampunk] means what we point to when we say it...
