The Time Machine is one of the most important works of science
fiction. It greatly influenced the genre and continues to be widely
read at all levels. This reference guide overviews the novel for
students and general readers. Written by a leading scholar on H.G.
Wells, the volume covers all aspects of the work, including its
plot, textual history, historical and intellectual contexts,
themes, style, and reception. Written more than 100 years ago, H.G.
Wells' first novel forever shaped the course of science fiction. Of
all his vast writings, The Time Machine seems most likely to ensure
his permanent place in literary history. But more than a literary
work, it is now widely recognized as a key text in the history of
ideas, for the notion of time travel has profoundly influenced
human thought. So too, with its bleak view of the future, The Time
Machine has made a seminal contribution to the ongoing debate
concerning the future course of evolution. Though The Time Machine
is widely read and studied, there is relatively little written
about it. Prepared by a leading authority on H.G. Wells, this
reference is a convenient introductory guide to the novel. It
examines all aspects of the work, including its textual history,
historical and intellectual contexts, themes, literary style, and
critical reception. The volume also includes a detailed plot
summary and an extensive bibliographic essay.
