Holy Hanna! I looked through them all and used 'find'; it is not in that list.

I mean:

12. It is not in Harold Bloom's "Western Canon".

A canon should have 10 to 100 items at the most.

I thought he would be, but
15. The author is not represented in http://www.npr.org/2011/08/11/139085...-fantasy-books.

And yet, Watchmen and Thawn are there, taking up valuable slots.

Did some browsing of lists. The name that kept coming up that seems to fit is Olaf Stapledon with a few possible novels. The only other person I found is S. Fowler Wright

I've been assuming "written 1920-1940" means "published 1920-1940"

True, I can't firmly determine the actual writing period, but I think it was pretty close.
