Product Description
From Library Journal
Hughes (humanities, Univ. of Michigan) and Geduld (comparative literature, Indiana Univ.) have prepared a scholarly edition of Wells's novel with a lengthy introduction. In it, they compare the manuscript versions of Wells's novel and explore the publishing history of the English and American serializations and the original 1898 text. They discuss Wells's scientific ideas and other influences from his life, including his critical views on Victorian religious and political attitudes and describe critical reactions to The War of the Worlds following its publication. The text of the novel is based on the 1924 Atlantic edition. Appendixes include a further exploration of variations in manuscripts, four of Wells's articles, and a list of works consulted. Recommended for academic libraries supporting graduate programs in English literature.

Critical edition is a must for Wells students, Jan 30 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Critical Edition of the War of the Worlds: H.G. Well's Scientific Romance (Hardcover)
War of the Worlds is one of the most important science fiction novels, but its importance can be difficult to see without some knowledge of the time in which it was written. Using essays (some by Wells himself) and copious footnotes, this critical edition does a fine job of placing War of the Worlds into its proper context
