The invisible man : the life and liberties of H. G. Wells

by Michael Coren

This biography examines the contradictions of H.G. Wells, contrasting his public role as a utopian visionary and advocate for women's suffrage with his private misogyny and anti-Semitism. It analyses his political influence and controversial views in their historical context.
