Writing in 1915, when Wells seemed to have settled down after years of travelling through time and space, the young critic Van Wyck Brooks traces his development from the scientific romances, starting with the Time Traveller’s year 802,701, through his turn toward socialism and his utopias, such as A Modern Utopia, to the novels of contemporary life.
