  • The War of the Worlds
    H.G. Wells / Leon Stover
    Wells’ novel, a 'scientific romance,' attained perhaps its greatest fame in another form, the infamous realistic 1939 radio broadcast 'Invasion from Mars' by the redoubtable Orson Welles. It was also notably made into an early fifties science fiction adventure movie (and there have been other adaptations as well). So indelible is the association that the novel, like the pani...

  • The Invisible Man
    H.G. Wells / Leon Stover
    H.G. Wells barely revised The Invisible Man once it was published, adding only an epilogue. But the opening statement of that epilogue--'So ends the strange and evil experiment of the Invisible Man'--has posed challenges to scholars. How to understand it? Does it speak strictly to the scientific elements of the novel? Or is it a part of the work’s political underpinnings? Th...

  • When the Sleeper Wakes
    H.G. Wells / Leon Stover
    Critics view When the Sleeper Wakes as a prototype of the anti-utopian novel, a genre developed by Zamyatin, Huxley, and Orwell into nightmare futures associated with the totalitarian age and the moral horrors of fascism and communism. Annotated by the world’s leading Wellsian scholar, in Sleeper is found a greater measure of artistry and characterization than is usually acc...

  • The Time Machine
    H.G. Wells / Leon Stover
    The Time Machine is one of the most enduring works of the English language. A hundred years after it was first published, the book continues to be studied. The 1895 London first edition is used as a basis for the exhaustive annotations and other critical apparatus of the world’s foremost Wellsian scholar. The widely reprinted version of 1924 is also fully accounted for. Fo...

  • Things to Come
    H.G. Wells / Leon Stover
    Things to Come is the 1936 release of London Films, produced from the 1935 'film story' by H.G. Wells, the text of the present work. The book includes more than 100 illustrations, most of them publicity stills that are all the more relevant because Wells, for a script writer, had unusual control over the actual film production. The images are very much a direct expression of...

  • The First Men in the Moon
    H.G. Wells / Leon Stover
    The First Men in the Moon is the last in a series of 'scientific romances' begun by Wells with The Time Machine. In the opinion of many, it is also the last in a series of pessimistic and anti-utopian novels before Wells took up the tone of an optimistic and utopian social prophet with Anticipations. The present critical edition of First Men questions that opinion. The lunar...

  • The Sea Lady
    H.G. Wells / Leon Stover
    Much attention has been paid to the 'scientific romance' novels of H.G. Wells, a founder of modern science fiction and one of the genre’s greatest writers. In comparison, little attention has been given by critics to his works of fantasy, which in the opinion of many, are just as artistic and worthy of study. This work, takes a critical look at Wells’ little known fantasy Th...

  • Man Who Could Work Miracles
    H.G. Wells / Leon Stover
    Man Who Could Work Miracles (without a The) is a 1937 film, ostensibly a comedy, that H.G. Wells scripted late in life for London Film Productions. This work is a literary text of the scenario and dialogue published in advance of the movie’s release. Wells himself says it is 'a companion piece' to Things to Come, his deadly serious film done a year before, also produced by A...
