H.G. Wells/Time Machine & Dr. Moreau

ABSTRACT:
A 7 page essay that addresses these works. Nineteenth century futuristic writer H.G. Wells was a man so preoccupied with the fate of humanity and so accurate in his predictions of that future that he has been called the "man who invented tomorrow" (MacKenzie 4). Wells accurately predicted aerial warfare, nuclear weapons, and space travel (MacKenzie 4). Nevertheless, Wells, as is true of anyone, was also a product of his time, late nineteenth century England. Examination of two of his works, The Time Machine and The Island of Dr. Moreau, demonstrates how Wells' writing not only reflects his vision of the future, but also the social, political and economic developments of his era. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
