Description

Wells: The Scientific Romances and Beyond. John S. Partington, ed. H. G. Wells s [sic] Fin-de-Siecle: Twenty-first Century Reflections on the Early H. G. Wells. Selections from The Wellsian. Frankfurt am Main: Peter Lang, 2007. 150 pp. $46.95 pbk. This little anthology consists often essays from the journal of the H. G. Wells Society. The first four are on specific, individual scientific romances: The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau, and The War of (he Worlds. The middle three treat other single texts: The Wheels of Chance, Tono-Bungay, and The History of Mr. Polly, all major works which need attention. Two of the final three open issues of Wells' relation to other writers around the turn of the century. The final essay, referring widely to Wells and the history of criticism, argues for rethinking how to read Wells.
