A
Princess of Mars is a science fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice
Burroughs, the first of his Barsoom series. It was first serialized in the pulp
magazine All-Story Magazine from February–July, 1912. Full of swordplay and
daring feats, the novel is considered a classic example of 20th-century pulp
fiction. It is also a seminal instance of the planetary romance, a subgenre of
science fantasy that became highly popular in the decades following its
publication. Its early chapters also contain elements of the Western. The story
is set on Mars, imagined as a dying planet with a harsh desert environment.
This vision of Mars was based on the work of the astronomer Percival Lowell,
whose ideas were widely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The
Barsoom series inspired a number of well-known 20th-century science fiction
writers, including Jack Vance, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert A.
Heinlein, and John Norman. The series was also inspirational for many
scientists in the fields of space exploration and the search for
extraterrestrial life, including Carl Sagan, who read A Princess of Mars when
he was a child.
