The Reception of H. G. Wells in Europe

Valutazione del libro

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The intellectual scope and cultural impact of British writers cannot be assessed without reference to their 'European' fortunes. This collection of 20 essays, prepared by an international team of scholars, critics and translators, records the ways in which H.G. Wells has been received, translated and published in different areas of Europe. Wells was described by one of his European critics as a 'seismograph of his age'. He is one of the founding fathers of modern science fiction, and as a novelist, essayist, educationalist and political propagandist his influence has been felt in every European country. This collection of essays offers pioneering insights into Wells's contribution to twentieth-century European literature and to modern political ideas, including the idea of European union.
