'I was never a great amorist,' wrote H. G. Wells in his Experiment
in Autobiography in 1934, 'though I have loved several people very
deeply.' H. G. Wells composed his most candid volume of
autobiography, H. G. Wells in Love, secretly, knowing it would
never be published in his own lifetime. It is a great writer's true
confession of the loves of his life, beginning in the 1930s when
Wells was at the summit of fame having published The Invisible Man,
Kipps, and The War of the Worlds. Though he had already written his
published autobiography (the two volumes of Experiment in
Autobiography are also available as Faber Finds), he saved his most
private reflections for this, detailing his engagement in a series
of romantic affairs, including his famous liason with feminist
author Rebecca West, twenty-six years his junior, and his second
wife, Amy Catherine Robbins. This volume completes and complements
the published volumes and offers a unique insight into the life of
one of the best-loved of British writers.
