Tethersend. 330 $aThis is the first new complete literary biography of H G Wells for thirty years, and the first to encompass his entire career as a writer, from the science fiction of the 1890s through his fiction and non-fiction writing all the way up to his last publication in 1946. Adam Roberts provides a comprehensive reassessment of Wells? importance as a novelist, short-story writer, a theorist of social prophecy and utopia, journalist and commentator, offering a nuanced portrait of the man who coined the phrases ?atom bomb?, ?League of Nations? ?the war to end war? and ?time machine?, who wrote the world?s first comprehensive global history and invented the idea of the tank. In these twenty-six chapters, Roberts covers the entirety of Wells? life and discusses every book and short story he produced, delivering a complete vision of this enduring figure. 410 0$aLiterary Lives 606 $aLiterature 606 $aLiterature?History and criticism 606 $aLiterature, Modern?19th century 606 $aBritish literature 606 $aEthnology?Europe 606 $aPopular Science in Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q39000 606 $aLiterary History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/813000 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/821000 606 $aBritish and Irish Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000 606 $aBritish Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411050 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aLiterature?History and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?19th century. 615 0$aBritish literature. 615 0$aEthnology?Europe. 615 14$aPopular Science in Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aBritish and Irish Literature. 615 24$aBritish Culture. 676 $a823.912 676 $a823.912 700 $aRoberts$b Adam$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0256840 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483930003321 996 $aH G Wells$92845744 997 $aUNINA
