3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. 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 , 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. Courting her briefly she soon steps out of his life and he again resumes his schema (with Socialism being a major motif).Two and a half years later he encounters Ethel (the aforementioned young woman) at a seacute;ance. She is part-taking in the ruse under her step-father's tutelage and this disgusts Lewisham (he's a huge proponent of `right' and `wrong', with deception for monetary gain being clearly `wrong').As the relationship progresses Lewisham marries Ethel to take her away from the life of debauchery and dishonesty she's trying to be cast into. Gradually, after the lofty feelings of the honey-moon phase have subsided and it's `down to business', the world regains its hefty weight and Lewisham finds his feelings ebbing toward Ethel. Accusations are made, bitter words are exchanged, things that shouldn't be said in fact, are. Hurt enters the picture. Emotions flip-flop back and forth from anger to remorse and guilt and back again.Discussing the state of the world with Chaffery (Ethel's step-father) he is informed that `the essential nature of lies and deception of the body politic' (1656) is what keeps the civility amongst the human population; makes the world turn. Toward that end `the wise deal with the facts of life, neither bolting nor rejecting, but by adapting' (1636).During his struggles a few other very blatant, everyday variety lies become noted: adherence to the major religion of a geographic area (not so pertinent these days, but in 1900's England, very much so) and to quote Twain `the clothes make the man', as we see Lewisham struggle to find work not because he is lacking intelligence, but because he is poorly clad.In the end Lewisham commits himself to the hardships of the relationship, the lies and deceptions of every day life and that perpetual wonderment of what is truly real - where does our epistemology begin? The target point being aptly stated: `For her I am always making allowances.' - `You love her.' - `Things are so complex. Love means anything or nothing.'

The lovers brought back memories of my own courtship and subsequent marriage. I got hung up in Wells' use of the language. The words like somewhen and anywhen were discordant to the fluidity of the prose. Some of the characters were contrivances of the author. They served to connect the prior events between the lovers and their coming back together in London. I ended with the conclusion that the union was ill fated. The lovers realized the same thing.16 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Wells' social fictionBy Bobby NewmanLove and Mr. Lewisham is the story of a young man who seeks to better himself and achieve glory through educational achievements. His love life, however, derails this ambition in several different ways. This is Wells' exploration of the dilemmas of the young man torn between career and relationship. Wells fans will realize that the ending of the book did not mirror his actual feelings/behavior on marriage.

Love and Mr Lewisham (subtitled "The Story of a Very Young Couple") is a 1900 novel set in the 1880s by H. G. Wells. It was among his first fictional writings outside the genre. Wells took considerable pains over the manuscript and said that "the writing was an altogether more serious undertaking than I have ever done before." He later included it in a 1933 anthology, Stories of Men and Women in Love. Plot At the beginning of the novel, 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 makes him lose his position, but he is unable to find her when he moves to London. After a two-and-a-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 become a socialist, declaring his politics with a red tie, and is an object of interest to Alice Heydinger, an older student. However, 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 Chaffery's 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 Island of Doctor Moreau, and . 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, 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.
