Robert Crossley provides a comprehensive examination of Wells's best-known SF and fantasy works-and their impact on later writers and thinkers. Complete with Chronology, Primary and Secondary Bibliographies, and Index.
Treating Wells as a major literary figure, the book focuses equally on his brilliance as a storyteller and upon his treatment of themes that have remained crucial to science ficion.
This collection of H.G. Wells's correspondence draws on over 50 archives and libraries worldwide, including the papers of Wells's daughter by Amber Reeves.
