Earlier works, such as Edward Bulwer-Lytton's "Vril: The Power of the Coming Race" (1871) and Samuel Butler's "Erewhon" (1872) use a similar plot as a vehicle for Swiftian social satire rather than romantic adventure. Other early examples are Simon Tyssot de Patot's "Voyages et Aventures de Jacques Massé" (1710), which includes a prehistoric fauna and flora, and Robert Paltock's "The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins" (1751), an 18th-century imaginary voyage inspired by both Defoe and Swift, where a man named Peter Wilkins discovers a race of winged people on an isolated island surrounded by high cliffs as in Burroughs's Caspak. The 1820 Hollow Earth novel "Symzonia" has also been cited as the first of the lost world form, and Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (1864) and "The Village in the Treetops" (1901) popularized the theme of surviving pockets of prehistoric species. J.-H. Rosny aîné would later publish "The Amazing Journey of Hareton Ironcastle" (1922), a novel where an expedition in the heart of Africa discovers a mysterious area with an ecosystem from another world, with alien flora and fauna. Edgar Allan Poe's "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket" (1838) has certain lost world elements towards the end of the tale.
