Originally coined to describe fantasy and science fiction in steam-powered settings, the term "steampunk" has come to identify an aesthetic movement. Its campy redefinition of Victorian style blends elements of technology and romance, and its influence extends from art and literature to music and fashion. Dover publishes a wide variety of steampunk-inspired books, including paper dolls, coloring books, and more.
