The Rebel Passion

by Katharine Burdekin
Twelfth-century monk Giraldus of Glastonbury, a man with the soul of a woman, is taken by a Child of God to see the epochs of time starting with the emergence of man from primeval slime and continuing through 21st-century Britain where women have equal rights, unfit people are sterilized, and dark-skinned people have been relocated out of Europe. By the fourth millennium, this muddled book shows an all-Christian Europe of happy people.

Proud Man

by Katharine Burdekin
An androgynous traveler—initially known as the Person, then as Verona, and finally as Gifford Verona— communicates with the subhumans called Englishmen about a time thousands of years in their future.
To return to my dream, this person thought that either you or I should go among these subhumans, and yoiu, though willing to go, were a shade less willing than I. So it was decided that I was to go, and when I asked this person, who had been thinking to us about these creatures, how I should come to them, seeing that they were either on another planet or in another time, the way thither was made clear to me, for all I had to do was to wish to be there with them, and there, wherever or whenever it was, I should be.

I am much inclined to think it was not on another planet, but on the same planet in another time.
