H.G:WELLS AND "SHADOW OF THE FUTURE"

"Shadow of the Future" (H.G. WELLS), especially its final chapter, is offered as a contribution to an unwritten history of modernity and its culural discourses. In Wells we have the fullest embodiment of a particular unfashonable conception of the possibilities of twentieeth-century writings: that of the writer and the prophet. It is necessary to read this book extensively as well as intensively in order to understand his best work.
