Edgar Rice Burroughs

1875–1950

Best known for creating Tarzan and John Carter, he helped shape modern adventure fiction with fast-moving stories that carried readers from jungle canopies to the surface of Mars. His novels mixed cliffhanger excitement with a huge sense of wonder, and they still influence fantasy and science fiction today.

About the author

Born in Chicago in 1875, Edgar Rice Burroughs worked a string of jobs before turning to fiction in the early 1910s. That late start became one of the great success stories in popular writing: once he began publishing, he quickly found a wide audience for vivid, serialized adventures packed with action, strange worlds, and larger-than-life heroes.

He is most closely associated with two landmark creations. Tarzan of the Apes introduced the jungle hero who became one of the most recognizable characters in popular culture, while the Barsoom novels beginning with A Princess of Mars sent readers to a romantic, dangerous Mars through the adventures of John Carter. Burroughs also wrote other series, including stories set in Pellucidar and Venus, showing how comfortably he moved between adventure, fantasy, and early science fiction.

Burroughs died in 1950, but his reach has lasted far beyond the pulp-magazine era that first made him famous. His books were translated widely and adapted for comics, film, radio, and television, helping turn his storytelling into a lasting part of 20th-century popular imagination.
