Joseph Schlossel
Joseph Schlossel was a science fiction writer, a pioneer of the space opera genre. E. F. Bleiler in his bibliographic work Science-Fiction: The Early Years notes that this author was never studied and suggests that he was presumably an American. He describes that Schlossel's work was "crude and amateurish", but anticipated further developments.[1] Despite his story telling skills, he was credited by showing "tremendous inventiveness in his adventures, with intergalactic wars and invasions on an immense scale."[2]
