商品簡介
A general introduction to the English author's life and works. Hammond (Nottingham Trent U.) places Wells within his historic setting and also provides a critical commentary on his writings: the science fiction of the 1890s, his social novels and utopian vision, his romanticism, the novel as myth (with an emphasis on The Time Machine ), and the divided self (exploring Tono-Bungay ). A reference section offers brief biographies of Wells's associates, information on the geography of his novels, and other background. Includes both an index to Wells's works and a general subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
