Book summaryA former leader of the Labour Party in Britain considers the life and socialist politics of H. G. Wells. Media reviews"...[W]hat finally emerges from the interactions and influences is Wells as a complex and compelling individual who seizes ideas and charges into what he sees....Complementing rather than supplanting existing works on Wells, this is valuable to anyone seriously interested in the writer and his works or in the history of English socialism." |
