| | 1 | Author: | Austin, Mary | Add | | | Title: | An Appreciation of H. G. Wells, Novelist  | | | | Published: | 1996 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | 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. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
