Each volume provides new research on the ways in which selected authors have been translated, published, distributed, read, reviewed, a pioneering scholarly collection of essays outlining the breadth and significance of H.G. Wells' literary and political impact throughout 20th-century Europe. H.G. Wells was described by one of his European critics as a 'seismograph of his age'. He is one of the founding fathers of modern science fiction, and as a novelist, essayist, educationalist and political propagandist his influence has been felt in every European country. This collection of essays by scholarly experts shows the varied and dramatic nature of Wells's reception, including translations, critical appraisals, novels and films on Wellsian themes, and responses to his own well-publicized visits to Russia and elsewhere.
