The Correspondence of H.G. Wells collects letters written by and to one of the most prominent English writers of the twentieth century. Edited by David C. Smith, the volumes draw on archives and private collections to present Wells’s exchanges with other writers, politicians, publishers, and friends over several decades.
Wells was a tireless correspondent. He wrote to Henry James, Joseph Conrad, George Bernard Shaw, Winston Churchill, and many others, often with the same bluntness he brought to his fiction and essays. The letters cover everything from literary arguments and publishing disputes to his political activism, his complicated personal life, and his thoughts on two world wars. For anyone interested in Wells beyond his famous novels, these volumes offer a look at the man behind the books.
