Overview

""The Works of H. G. Wells, 1887-1925"" serves as a vital reference guide for scholars, collectors, and enthusiasts of one of the most influential figures in modern English literature.

The work is organized as a detailed bibliography, dictionary, and subject-index, offering an exhaustive overview of the characters, settings, and themes found within Wells's expansive canon. It covers the transition from his foundational ""scientific romances,"" such as ""The Time Machine"" and ""The War of the Worlds,"" to his later sociological novels and political essays. By providing a systematic indexing of topics and a dictionary of fictional persons and places, West enables readers to navigate the vast intellectual and imaginative landscape created by Wells up to the mid-1920s. This volume is an essential tool for understanding the bibliographic history and thematic development of a writer who bridged the Victorian and modern eras.
