The Time Machine

Oxford University Press

Explore a dystopian future where humanity has evolved into two distinct species in H. G. Wells's groundbreaking novel, The Time Machine. This edition meticulously tracks Wells's changes from earlier serializations, using the first 1895 book edition. Featuring a contextual introduction by a leading scholar of late Victorian popular fiction, this paperback offers deep insights into the science fiction genre and the time travel story. It includes detailed explanatory notes, two essays by Wells on related themes ('Zoological Retrogression' and 'On Extinction'), and an appendix with an excised longer version of Wells's vision for the death of the planet. A cornerstone of early science fiction, The Time Machine offers a sardonic rejection of Victorian ideals and a satirical commentary on the Decadent culture of the 1890s. Key features include: 160 pages, English language version, published by Oxford University Press. This edition commemorates the 150th anniversary of H. G. Wells's birth. Product Summary: Oxford University Press, The Time Machine, H. G. Wells, Paperback, English, 160 pages, ISBN 9780198707516, Roger Luckhurst.
