Non notable neologism. Clute invented many terms in EoSF, some didn't catch on, like this one. 15 years later and is still not in a dictionary nor used by any critics
It was contested by AdamBMorgan (talk · contribs) on 2008-11-28 with the comment:
The term is used. It's rarity may be due to the relatively rarity of the genre itself, however.

Tom Swift[edit]

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)[reply]

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

Future references[edit]

As both a future note to myself (for when I have time to add to this article) or a suggestion to any passing editor, the following books have some information on the Edisonade genre:

Space and Beyond by Gary Westfahl, ISBN 9780313308468 (Google Books)
New Boundaries in Political Science Fiction by Donald M. Hassler et al, ISBN 9781570037368 (Google Books)

- AdamBMorgan (talk) 13:28, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the sources, and the reply on my talk. I'll add something short using these to get them into the article. Yobmod (talk) 14:03, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

=Encyclopedia Brown[edit]

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)[reply]

More modern Edisonades[edit]

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?[edit]

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)[reply]
