- This monograph is a sustained and highly original examination of the friendship between Joseph Conrad and H. G. Wells, and the influence of this friendship upon each writer’s own literary endeavours. The monograph involved archival research at the University of Illinois, leading to the inclusion of new, previously unpublished material, including letters. This substantial contribution to our understanding of the relationship between the two writers enables a contextual discussion of their work which reveals some startling new insights into Conrad and Wells’s writing, their estimation of each other’s work, and literary landscape at the turn of the century.
