Hi,

Does anybody know about stories dealing with the alien theme (man confronted with an extraterrestrial beings) that were written, say, before 1920?

Paradise Lost, by John Milton (1667).
"Hans Pfaall -- A Tale", by Edgar Allan Poe (1835).
The War of the Worlds, by H.G. Wells (1897).
A Princess of Mars, by E.R. Burroughs (1912); and sequels.
"Beyond the Wall of Sleep", by H.P. Lovecraft (1919);
"The Doom that Came to Sarnath", by H.P. Lovecraft (1919).

These ones I have not read, but I'm told they reference alien encounters:

A True Story , by Lucian [2d Century]
History of New York, by Diedrich Knickerbocker [Washington Irving] (1809).
The First Men on the Moon, by H.G. Wells (1901).
