H. G. WELLS
Veronica" (1909, Harper), "The New Machiavelli" (1910, Duffield), "Tono-Bungay" (1908, Duffield), "Marriage" (Duffield), "The Passionate Friends" (1913, Harper), "The Wife of Sir Isaac Harmon" (1914, Macmillan), "The Research Magnificent" (1915, Macmillan), "Mr. Britling Sees It Through" (1916, Macmillan).
To these we must add some early works: a "Textbook on Biology" in two volumes (1892) and two volumes of essays, "Select Conversations with an Uncle" (1895, Saalfield) and "Certain Personal Matters" (1897). He has, like Stevenson, devoted much attention to devising floor games for children and has published two books upon it: "Floor Games "and "Little Wars" (Small, Maynard) .
Wells still awaits his Boswell, but we have "The World of H. G. Wells" by Van Wyck Brooks (1915, Kennerley), a lively and appreciative critique, and "H. G. Wells, A Biography and a Critical Estimate of his Work" by J. D. Beresford (1915, Holt), still briefer, equally interesting, and containing a list of his writings to date. An autobiographical sketch was written for the Russian edition of his works (1909) and published in T. P.'s Magazine (1912).
Of magazine articles and critiques the following have for one reason or another special interest:
"Les Idées de Wells sur l'Humanité future" by Charles Duguet in Revue des Idées, 1908.
"Wells" by Chesterton in American Magazine, vol. 71, p. 32 (1910).
"Wells and his Point of View" in Catholic World, vol. 91 (four articles, 1910).
"Wells and Bergson" by P. E. B. Jourdain in Hibbert Journal, vol. 10, p. 835, July, 1912.
