Talk:Edisonade

Tom Swift
There's a controversy in the Tom Swift Talk page over whether Tom Swift was Edisonade or not.

Please do not remove it from here without making an argument on the talk page first; one edit war at a time is enough. Several of the references cited here refer to Tom Swift as an example of Edisonade. jesup 23:22, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Jess Nevins' Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana is also pretty clear on this and counts it in. (Emperor 18:56, 31 December 2006 (UTC))

==Encyclopedia Brown= Some of the books in the Encyclopedia Brown might be considered Edisonades with a detective story plot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody (talk • contribs) 08:19, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

More modern Edisonades
If the general description of an "Edisonade" is the story of a brilliant young scientist and his inventions, might we not also include more modern versions in literature and other media? Examples:


 * Dexter's Laboratory
 * Jimmy Neutron
 * Venture Brothers (although these are more about the descendents of one, inventions are still the highlight of the series).

Skylark series?
Would Seaton in E. E. Smith's "Skylark" series be an example of an Edison? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Resuna (talk • contribs) 21:28, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
