Of course all those writers built on the foundations laid by earlier generations. Hard SF? Verne and Wells. Anyone going to say that "From the Earth to the Moon" isn't the hardest of hard SF? Fantasy? Rider Haggard single-handedly invented several fantasy genres, particularly the "Lost Civilisation" genre. The majority of his books have fantasy elements. What about Conan Doyle with his "Lost World" trilogy written in 1912?
