Are men in general just not aware that Mary Shelley existed? And that she wrote science fiction a full 77 years before The Time Machine.pic.twitter.com/UlY48NbrXx
Neither was The Time Machine the first time travel tale. That was El Anacronopete by Enrique Gaspar, published in 1887.pic.twitter.com/LUkFQGwjey

I mean first of all, who says The Time Machine is the first book about time-travel. Even H.G. Wells wrote another book about time travel before that. But while you show a good example of a book that came way before it it is most certainly not the first book about time-travel.

Unless you're speaking about electrically-powered time machines instead od time tracel itself.

And Irish writer Samuel Madden wrote about a time travelling guardian angel from 1998 in 1733

You are right, I rule it out for this reason though: “In his 1987 work Origins of Futuristic Fiction, Paul Alkon describes the book as the earliest of English literature to feature time travel, but notes that it does not explain how it was performed.”https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoirs_of_the_Twentieth_Century …
