H. G. Wells: Socialism and the Middle Classes. H. G. Wells

Аннотация:

In this paper H. G. Wells defines and discusses the relationship between three distinct things: (1) Socialism, i.e. a large, a slowly elaborating conception of a sane and organized state and moral culture to replace our present chaotic way of living, (2) the Socialist movement, and (3) the Middle Classes. H. G. Wells (1866–1946) was an English writer, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing textbooks and rules for war games. Wells was now considered to be one of the world's most important political thinkers and during the 1920s and 30s he was in great demand as a contributor to newspapers and journals.
