Wells, H(erbert) G(eorge) 1866-1946. English
writer of `scientific romances' such as The
Time Machine 1895 and The War of the Worlds
1898. His later novels had an
anti-establishment, anti-conventional humour
remarkable in its day, for example Kipps 1905
and Tono-Bungay 1909. His many other books
include Outline of History 1920 and The Shape
of Things to Come 1933, a number of his
prophecies from which have since been
fulfilled. He also wrote many short stories.
