The Anubis Gates is a 1983 time travel fantasy novel by American writer Tim Powers. It won the 1983 Philip K. Dick Award and 1984 Science Fiction Chronicle Award. The plot concerns a professor of English who participates in a time travel experiment and ends up trapped in the 19th century. The novel was influenced by Mayhew's London Labour and the London Poor, and to a lesser degree by the works of Charles Dickens.
Powers clearly did too much research while working on this, and felt it necessary to include it all. It was a decent adventure, but would have been better if it had been a bit more focused.
