History

The word steampunk was coined in 1987 by author K.W. Jeter. He used it to describe an increasingly common style of fantasy fiction set in Victorian England that featured many steam-powered devices. Today, we would include stories such as Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and the League of Extraordinary Gentleman within the Steampunk genre. In short, the style combines futuristic cityscapes with Victorian-era aesthetics. As long as these basic elements are recognized, the options within this world are wide and expansive.
