Very good perspective from the begining of the last century.By TJ_RubiconVery good perspective from the begining of the last century. Spells out where the 20th Century went wrong. Very good read for history, international politics, of H. G. Wells fans. This World War One classic text states: In the latter half of 1914 a few of us were writing that this war was a "War of Ideas." A phrase, "The War to end War," got into circulation, amidst much sceptical comment. It was a phrase powerful enough to sway many men, essentially pacifists, towards taking an active part in the war against German imperialism, but it was a phrase whose chief content was its aspiration. 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.

    H. G. WELLS: EDUCATIONIST by F. H. DOUGHTY JONATHAN CAPE ' 30 BEDFORD SQUARE H. G. 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. Mr. Wells as one of the most signi6e~nt fi2ures in modern literature. H. G. WELLS: EDUCATIONIST By the Same Author * EDUCATION AND THE SPIRIT Ho Go WELL§ EDUCATIONIST by F. H.

  • 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.

What ARE We Fighting For? An Analysis of the Sociopolitical Non-fiction of Herbert George Wells Senior Honors Thesis Jason Edward Sloan Spring 2007 Approved by: ______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ 1 Abstract The legacy of H. G. Wells’ should not be limited to that of a British fiction writer. Wells advocated universal human rights and supported the engagement of broad public policy debate, and he often commented on the British government. His country had lived through World War I, the supposed “war to end all wars.” The roaring 1920’s arrived next, offering hope after World War I’s devastation. World War II was then thrust upon Britain. Wells was incensed that a thirty-year period had elapsed and, despite numerous promises by the British government, no social reform had emerged.
