Sheer comic delightBy John FitzpatrickPeople who know H. G. Wells through his futuristic works like ldquo;The Time Machinerdquo; or ldquo;The War of the Worldsrdquo; and ldquo;The First Men in the Moonrdquo; rather than his social comedies like this book or ldquo;The History of Mr. Pollyrdquo; don't know what they are missing.ldquo;Love and Mr. Lewishamrdquo; is a comic gem and, in many ways, similar to ldquo;Mr. Pollyrdquo; as it tells the story of a frustrated young man whose ambitious dreams for the future vanish after he falls in love, gets married and then finds himself held back by the responsibilities he has assumed. The sclerotic class structure of late 19th century England, with its caste-like restrictions, makes it almost impossible for him to escape.Wells highlights the rigidity and hypocrisy of the system but does so in a gentle humorous way. I could not help but wonder if P.G. Wodehouse, who first started writing around 1900 when Lewisham was published was influenced by Wells. Mr. Lewisham is an 18-year-old teacher at a boys' school in Sussex, earning forty pounds a year. He meets and falls in love with Ethel Henderson, who is paying a visit to relatives. His involvement with her causes him to lose his position, but he is unable to find her when he moves to London. After a two-and-one-half-year break in the action, Mr. Lewisham is in his third year of study at the Normal School of Science in South Kensington. He has becomes a socialist, declaring his politics with a red tie, and is an object of interest to Alice Heydinger, an older student. But chance brings him together again with his first love at a seacute;ance. Ethel's stepfather, Mr. Chaffery, is a spiritualist charlatan, and Mr. Lewisham is determined to extricate her from association with his dishonesty. They marry, but Mr. Lewisham is forced to abandon his plans for a brilliant scientific career followed by a political ascent. About the AuthorOften called the father of science fiction, British author Herbert George (H. G.) Wells literary works are notable for being some of the first titles of the science fiction genre, and include such famed titles as The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and The Invisible Man. Despite being fixedly associated with science fiction, Wells wrote extensively in other genres and on many subjects, including history, society and politics, and was heavily influenced by Darwinism. His first book, Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress Upon Human Life and Thought, offered predictions about what technology and society would look like in the year 2000, many of which have proven accurate. Wells went on to pen over fifty novels, numerous non-fiction books, and dozens of short stories. His legacy has had an overwhelming influence on science fiction, popular culture, and even on technological and scientific innovation. Wells died in 1946 at the age of 79.

Feeling Like a Clerk in H. G. Wells
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by IUScholarWorks Feeling Like a Clerk in H. G. Wells Richard Higgins We’re all respectable householders—that’s to say Tories, yes-men and bumsuckers. —George Orwell, Coming Up for Air (16) . G. Wells was an explosively moody man, subject to caprice, reckless passion, and perverse, self-defeating acts of impru- Hdence (MacKenzie xxx). His powerful emotions led to resent- ment and irresponsibility as a clerk, to rebellion and failure at university, and to life-long philandering that threatened his relations with those closest to him. Let’s begin, then, with an interpretation of these emotions, the impulses that he would later spend so much time describing in his autobiographies, Experiment in Autobiography (1934) and H. G. Wells in Love (1984). I would contend that his impulses were largely the product of his lower-middle-class origins, both a reaction to his strained circum- stances and a way to distinguish himself from others like him. These impulses led to reckless acts that deflected his frustration and shame as a member of the lower middle class. From his own perspective, though, they helped to make him an “originative intellectual worker,” emerging from a sea of small-minded clerks and students (Experiment 17). Even as they resulted in acts of self-sabotage, they masqueraded as sui generis emotions that, like the inspirations of a self-made man, marked him as something more than a product of his class. And yet, even late in life, Wells’s impulses were bound up with Abstract: In three turn-of-the-century novels about clerks and scholarship boys, H.

English Literature in Past Times
International Journal of Academic Multidisciplinary Research (IJAMR) ISSN: 2643-9670 Vol.5 Issue 5, May – 2021, Pages: 71-73 English literature in past times 1Gulmira Juraboyeva and 2Dinara Saydullayeva Lutfulla qizi 1Student of Samarkand state institute of foreign languages +998979214973 [email protected] 2Student of National University of Uzbekistan named after Mirzo Ulugbek +998935531901 Abstract: In general, literature can function as the mirror that reflects the society. The world has been a subject to a large number of wars and battles. Specifically, the Second World War was a major destructive conflict that has left its effects on the international level. Since war existed, there have been many writers trying creatively to explore it in a way of turning the battlegrounds into influential narratives. In this regard, numerous British authors of post- WWII era have been attracted to respond to the Second World War in their post-war fiction in order to portray its barbarism and devastation. Keywords: literature, Herbert George Wells, genres, works, affection. Introduction In fact, in the aftermath of World War the British society witnessed a series of social changes that dramatically lead to general feeling of disillusionment and uncertainty. Consequently, post-World War British writers took it upon themselves to create narratives that investigate in sometimes a philosophical manner the damages of war and its impact on individuals. Among the writers of post-World war era is Herbert George Wells who is one the greatest contemporary authors. Undoubtedly, war and literature are inseparable. Numerous literary texts were written in order to respond to the wars and to trace its impacts on the individual’s sense of existence.

An Appreciation of H. G. Wells, Novelist
An Appreciation of H. G. Wells, Novelist Mary Austin An Appreciation of H. G. Wells, Novelist Table of Contents An Appreciation of H. G. Wells, Novelist...............................................................................................................1 Mary Austin...................................................................................................................................................1 i An Appreciation of H. G. Wells, Novelist Mary Austin This page copyright © 2001 Blackmask Online. http://www.blackmask.com THE very ancient conception of a genius as one seized upon by the waiting Powers for the purpose of rendering themselves intelligible to men has its most modern exemplar in the person of Herbert George Wells, a maker of amazing books. It is impossible to call Mr. Wells a novelist, for up to this time the bulk of his work has not been novels; and scarcely accurate to call him a sociologist, since most of his social science is delivered in the form of fiction. There are people who call him a Socialist, and that, with some definition, is what Mr. Wells calls himself; there are others who call him a revolutionist; but, under whatever caption, he is distinguishedly a maker of books, informing vitalizing, indispensable books; and when one attempts to account for the range and variety of Mr. Wells' product, the first inescapable inference is that behind them is a man of broad and specific learning. It is not possible, by naming the schools where he has been educated, to give any notion to an American audience of the quality of Mr. Wells' scholarship. He is not, as we understand it, a University man, but so far as his learning relates him to his time, better educated than most University men dare profess to be a scholar of human conditions.

Wells and a Dark Horse of a Story.By M. DeKalbPublished in 1900, HG Wells `Love and Mr. Lewisham' recants the story of a man falling in love, out of love and all of it's associated woes. I find this a very fitting piece of work to represent both the ever occurring, very likely universal human experience. I am, appropriately, somewhat serendipitously, finishing this at a very difficult time in what was once an incredibly fulfilling relationship. Thereby I can relate to the work completely on an emotional level. Major / minor motifs include: socialism, deception as a societal norm / impression, the emotional struggles of marriage, the line between right and wrong, and linked to that - a general sense of epistemology, specifically what is true. Five stars, my favorite this year, a complete dark horse.Possible SPOILERS:Lewisham, a young man with a set `schema' - educational goals, accomplishments and desired achievements - is sure he has his plans all worked out, this is until he is disrupted by a young woman.

This highly ephemeral Chicago publication at times carried the alternate titles of Carl Pretzel’s Weekly or Carl Pretzel’s Illustrated Weekly. The only library known to possess any holdings of it, the library of the Chicago Historical Society, has one issue apiece from 1875, 1876, 1878, and 1880 but none from the year when Gissing lived in that Midwestern American city.

Throughout his vast corpus-over a hundred published books, thousands of articles and essays, dozens of short stories-readers encounter references to a staggering array of transport technologies. Tanks rumble across the pages of the short story "The Land Ironclads." Londoners desperately attempt to flee the walking Martian tripods by means of boats, car riages, and trains in The War ofthe Worlds. Elevated moving sidewalks slide citizens around the city in The Sleeper Awakes, a work that-like the novel Tono-Rungay and the story "The Argonauts of the Air" also showcases an intense interest on the part of Wells in the devel opment of aeronautics.

The Wells Circle
The Wells Circle Arnim, Elizabeth von (1866-1941), novelist. Chiefly remembered today for Elizabeth and her German Garden (1898), she met HGW in late 1910 and began an affair with him which continued until 1912. His nickname for her was 'Little e'. In 1916 she married John Francis Russell, brother of Bertrand Russell, and continued to write novels, including Vera (1921) and The En chanted April (1923). She is portrayed as 'Mrs Harrowdean' in HGW' s novel Mr Britling Sees It Through. Bagnold, Enid (1889-1981 ), novelist and playwright. She and HGW met in 1916 and began a lifelong friendship. She served as a nurse in the First World War and wrote an account of her experiences, Diary Without Dates (1917). Her most well known work is the novel National Velvet (1935). Barrie, Sir James Matthew (1860-1937), novelist and playwright. The author of a number of successful novels, including A Window in Thrums, Margaret Ogilvy and Sentimental Tommy, Barrie met HGW in 1898 and the two began a lifelong friendship. It was Barrie's When a Man's Single (1888) which provided HGW with the inspiration to write articles on everyday topics instead of philosophical ideas and thus helped to launch him on his lit erary career (cf. Experiment in Autobiography, pp. 371-4). Baxter, William (1860-1934), local historian. HGW and Baxter's wife were fellow pupils at Mrs Knott's dame school in Bromley. Baxter later became a respected local historian, writing numerous articles on Bromley. He wrote a 32-page manuscript on HGW, now deposited at Bromley Library, and frequently wrote to HGW requesting biographical information.
