Acclaimed as a work of genius when first published in 1895, The
Time Machine represents a revolution in storytelling. H. G. Wells's
first--and greatest--novel has been recognized worldwide as a
founding text of the science fiction genre and one of the most
seminal narratives of the last hundred years. This collection of
essays offers a series of original, penetrating, and wide-ranging
perspectives on Wells's masterpiece by an international group of
major Wells and science fiction scholars. The authors explore such
textual topics as the narrative techniques and mythological
undertones of the novel as well as its contribution to modern ideas
of time and evolution and its focusing of the intellectual
cross-currents of the late nineteenth century. This insightful
volume captures the innovative imagination, richness, and
fascinating ambiguity that resulted in a classic literary work and
demonstrates that Wells's novel is both a visionary story and an
unstoppable idea.
