You'll like Artie Kipps!By Skip HughesWell-penned as are many stories from the prolific pen of H.G. Wells, and laugh-out-loud funny as well, "Kipps" was rendered on stage and screen as the great hit musical, "Half A Sixpence," starring the amazing Tommy Steele in both venues. "Kipps" holds some comparison to the great Dickens novel, "Oliver Twist," also rendered as a huge musical hit on stage and screen. Artie Kipps is not so well-known as Oliver Twist, but deserves better. This book is a first-rate read. After you read it, watch the Tommy Steele DVD if you haven't already.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. It's a bit of all right!By CustomerThis is a wonderful novel by H. G. Wells. This is a story of a young man's life experience and coming of age (and note - this is not a science fiction story). I understand that H. G. Wells, like Kipps, served for some time as a draper's apprentice as a young man, and I expect that there is a personal investment and attachment to this naive young Kipps on Wells' part. It is well written, sweet, and humorous. I recommend it highly.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. HG Wells isn't all about scifi. He could take on Jane Austen.By Lit PickerHG Wells wrote a lot more than science fiction. This is a humorous tale, sort of rags-to-riches. What I really like about Wells' writing is his use of rich language, without being extravagant. This story takes his ability at clever descriptions to a different genre. This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process.

Scribner's, 1912 About the AuthorHerbert George "H. G." Wells (21 September 1866 ndash; 13 August 1946) was an English writer, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing textbooks and rules for war games. Wells is sometimes called "The Father of Science Fiction". His most notable science fiction works include The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Invisible Man and The Island of Doctor Moreau. Wells's earliest specialised training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context. He was also from an early date an outspoken socialist, often (but not always, as at the beginning of the First World War) sympathising with pacifist views. His later works became increasingly political and didactic, and he sometimes indicated on official documents that his profession was that of "Journalist." Most of his later novels were not science fiction. Some described lower-middle class life (Kipps; The History of Mr Polly), leading him to be touted as a worthy successor to Charles Dickens, but Wells described a range of social strata and even attempted, in Tono-Bungay (1909), a diagnosis of English society as a whole.

  • The Art of Fiction and the Art of War: Henry James, H. G. Wells, and Ford Madox Ford
    <http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:21-opus-49437> | <https://doi.org/10.25623/conn001.1-wiesenfarth-1> Connotations Vol. l.1 (1991) The Art of Fiction and the Art of War: Henry James, H. G. Wells, and Ford Madox Ford JOSEPH WIESENFARTI-1 The house of fiction has . a number of possible windaws. At each of them stands a figure ... with a field-glass, which [insures] to the person making use of it an impression distinct from every other. -Henry James Almost a year after the war broke out between the Allied Forces and the Central Powers in August 1914, a battle was fought between Henry James and H. G. Wells on the literary front. These two instances of hostility, although vastly different in their significance, are nevertheless not unrelated. France, for instance, was the object of attack in both the military and literary campaigns. For Kaiser Wilhelm II, France was the cultural capital of Europe which, in its pride, looked down upon Germany; for H. G. Wells, France threatened England because Henry James-American scion of Balzac, Flaubert, and de Maupas- sant-sought to disseminate a foreign aesthetic in preference to the indigenous one espoused by Wells himself. So just as the German emperor sought to conquer and humiliate France, the British novelist sought to conquer and humiliate Henry James, who, along with Joseph Conrad, a Pole; Stephen Crane, an American; and Ford Madox Ford, an Anglo-German, formed for Wells "a ring of foreign conspirators" (Seymour 14) who were plotting to overthrow the English novel.

  • 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.

WELLS: EDUCA TIO:\lST GENERAL survey of the lines along which Mr. Wells' educational ideas have Ade,·eloped, and a criticism of these ideas. Mr. Wells has always regarded education in the broadest light-never as a narrow ae~demic or scholastic afFair, but as a process that touches life at all points. Education in this wider aspect has, therefore, assumed so great an importance in his work as a whole, that a survey such as this amounts to a more or less complete review of his philosophy. While therefore, the book appeals first to the _ edue~tionist, it is also of value for the general · reader, particularly those who regard.

    “I HAD RATHER BE CALLED A JOURNALIST THAN AN ARTIST” – AN ASSESSMENT OF THE ARTISTIC CREDIBILITY OF THE NOVELS OF H. G. WELLS by JAMES WILLIAM BARNETT A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY (MODE B) Department of English School of Humanities The University of Birmingham September 2008 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT As the perceived loser of the debate, the fallout from H. G. Wells’s quarrel with Henry James concerning the aesthetic of the novel has had disastrous ramifications for Wells’s literary reputation. Whilst Henry James is considered a hugely influential figure in the development of modernist fiction, Wells’s work is often regarded as synonymous with the nineteenth-century Realist novels that modernist novelists were attempting to usurp. This thesis will suggest that whilst Wells’s novels are clearly not written to parallel the aesthetically charged narratives characteristic of James and other modernist writers, they are written with an artistic purpose commensurate with a fictional aesthetic personal to Wells himself.

    EXPOSING H. G. WELLS’S DURATIONAL TRANSPARENCIES Jan B. Gordon Abstract. This article deploys Henri Bergson’s concept of durée, which reconfigured the way in which time/space relationships are perceived, to re- contextualise H. G. Wells’s innovative interests in the years between 1880 and 1920. In strategically conflating transparency and invisibility as different forms of non- being, Wells enabled free ‘dilations’ from one form of emergent subjectivity to another through the mediation of diaphanous ‘carriers’. Wells’s The Invisible Man, The History of Mr. Polly, Ann Veronica, and Tono-Bungay are located within a fin- de-siècle tradition that runs counter to the solid, developmental trajectory and bourgeois search for foundations characteristic of nineteenth-century Bidlungsromanen. This article contends that Wells’s oeuvre is more aligned with other literary, scientific, and cultural activity of the period, such as represented by the work of Walter Pater, Ferdinand de Saussure, Bram Stoker, the early Freud, Rodin. Wells retained both a personal and literary interest in the radical reconfigurations (real and illusory) of corporeal, material, proprietary and institutional bodies. His exploration of the making, unmaking, and imaginary re-making of all these bodies, enabled by sophisticated simulation(s), makes Wells a figure of enduring interest. In Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness (1888), Henri Bergson’s conceptual durée (duration) reconfigured our perception of time/space relationships. Bergson suggested that when an attempt is made to measure the moment, that moment, similarly to H. G. Wells’s Invisible Man Griffin, vanishes. Time is thus arbitrarily mobile and incomplete, which problematises the very notion of duration.

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.
