Memoirs of the Twentieth Century is an early work of speculative fiction by Irish writer Samuel Madden. This 1733 epistolary novel takes the form of a series of diplomatic letters written in 1997 and 1998. The work is a satire perhaps modeled after Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels published seven years before. Madden was an Anglican clergyman, and the book is focused on the dangers of Catholicism and Jesuits, depicting a future where they dominate.

| - Memoirs of the Twentieth Century (Erinnerungen an das 20. Jahrhundert) ist eine Art früher Zukunftsroman, 1733 von dem irischen Schriftsteller Samuel Madden verfasst. In einer Reihe von Diplomatenbriefen wird die Welt gegen Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts beschrieben. Der Anglikaner Madden warnt dabei vor der von den in der Vision dominierenden Katholiken/Jesuiten ausgehenden Gefahr. Insofern kann das Werk, gemäß dem Standpunkt des Verfassers, als frühe Dystopie gesehen werden; meist wird Memoirs allerdings als utopische Satire bezeichnet. (de)

Das Buch wurde anonym veröffentlicht und hatte keine breite Wirkung; der Autor James Gleick nannte es „selbst 1733 nicht lesbar“. (de)
- Memoirs of the Twentieth Century is an early work of speculative fiction by Irish writer Samuel Madden. This 1733 epistolary novel takes the form of a series of diplomatic letters written in 1997 and 1998. The work is a satire perhaps modeled after Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels published seven years before. Madden was an Anglican clergyman, and the book is focused on the dangers of Catholicism and Jesuits, depicting a future where they dominate. Soon after the book was published anonymously, Madden had most copies destroyed. Although this would mean the book had little influence in its own time (with a negligible contemporary readership and no real impact on later writers), the book is notable as an early work to feature time travel. In his 1987 work Origins of Futuristic Fiction, Paul Alkon describes the book as the earliest in English literature to feature time travel, but notes that it does not explain how it was performed. In the 2008 book Physics of the Impossible, Michio Kaku also describes the work as arguably the first account of time travel in fiction. (en)
