Books by H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells (1866–1946) was an English writer whose scientific romances established the foundations of modern science fiction. Trained in biology under T. H. Huxley at the Normal School of Science in London, he brought a Darwinian lens to speculative fiction. The Time Machine (1895), The War of the Worlds (1898), The Invisible Man (1897), and The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896) all appeared within a few years of each other. Wells was also a prolific essayist and social critic, a Fabian socialist, and one of the most widely read popular intellectuals of his era.
