Steampunk: Steam-powered Art
What is Steampunk, anyway?It's a writing, art, fashion and design genre that combines the romantic Victorian age with the steam-poweredtechnology of the industrial revolution.It became popular inthe 1980'sand early1990's. It iscurrently enjoying a resurgence.
The term “steampunk” was coined by author K.W. Jeter when he waslooking for a term to describe stories set in a 19th century time period with mechanical elements similar to H.G. Wells'The Time Machine &20,000 Leagues UnderThe Sea by JulesVerne.
Time travel, futurism, dirigibles,steam & spring power, gears & vintage
machinery are all part of the steampunk image.
Since the 1990'sthe steampunk genrehas expanded beyond recognizablehistorical periodsto works set in fantasy worlds where steam- or spring-poweredtechnology is used.
