THE JOURNALISM OF H. G. WELLS: An Annotated Bibliography by David C. Smith - edited by Patrick ParrinderCelebrated as a novelist and science-fiction author, H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was also one of the most prolific and influential journalists of the twentieth century. He interviewed Lenin, Stalin, and F. D. Roosevelt. He pursued controversies with Churchill, Bernard Shaw and others, and campaigned tirelessly for scientific education, human rights and world peace. Starting out as a humorous journalist and short-story writer in the 1890s, he chronicled world events from the invention of flying to the closing stages of the Second World War. A master of journalistic formats from the popular newspaper to the scientific periodical, his prophetic insights inspired whole generations of readers.
This Annotated Bibliography reveals for the first time the full extent of Wells’s published writings, offering a complete account of his appearances in print such as has never existed before. The main bibliography contains over 2,000 items and is supplemented by separate listings of speeches and published interviews given by Wells. A section of over 300 ‘Conjectural Items’ includes unsigned articles identified as Wells’s on stylistic grounds. The bibliography’s distinctive arrangement highlights Wells’s relationships with individual newspapers and periodicals, each of which is identified in a special Descriptive Index compiled by Mike Ashley. All items are annotated and the volume is fully indexed.

The Pathways of George Gissing’s Imagination, Christine Huguet (ed.) Stage-managing otherness with an eye to the beauty of the resulting artefact was Gissing’s privileged mode of appropriation of, and adaptation to, the contingent. In the process of reifying the others and keeping them at a solemn distance, himself deliberately withdrawn from the whirlpool, he wove a singularly varied tapestry of life in late Victorian England. The nineteen essays included in this volume provide a challenging portrait of Gissing’s figurations of otherness, conceived of in its broadest sense. Covering the full range of his work, they shed fresh light on his likes and dislikes, his fears and anxieties, and explore the intriguing range of tonalities, from irony to mellowed acceptance, that marks his aestheticised portraits of the self and the Other.
Providing an attractive snapshot of current Gissing scholarship, the present collection will contribute to invigorate the very active interdisciplinary field of Gissing studies. It will also be of interest to the general reader concerned with fin-de-siècle culture and history.

Spellbound, George Gissing A selection of George Gissing's shorter fiction, the first to span the artist's career. Critically established texts, original illustrations and new scholarly essays, available for the first time in one publication, edited by Dr. Christine Huguet.
Volume 1: The Storyteller Volume 2: A Twenty-first Century Reappraisal
George Gissing was one of the major English novelists of the late nineteenth century. It was, however, as a short-story writer that he entered into the world of literature and his instinct for suggestive compression soon secured his place as an accomplished fin-de-siècle practitioner in the field of short fiction. Chronologically planned from 1877 to the early 1900s, the present book focuses on eleven specimens, many of them vintage Gissing, of the artist’s 115 stories. It will recommend itself to all lovers of late Victorian culture and short-story practices. Critical appraisal by M. D. Allen, Christine DeVine, David Grylls, Constance Harsh, Christine Huguet, Diana Maltz, Markus Neacey, Bouwe Postmus, Barbara Rawlinson, Robert Selig and John Sloan.

philosophical basis of his thought and,through several comparative
studies, takes an interdisciplinary approach to his aesthetic concerns.

Wat anderen zeggen:
Professor W. Warren Wagar, Emeritus Professor
of History, State University New York: "I bought a copy of the
anthology of articles from The Wellsian directly from Equilibris
and was much impressed not only by the contents but also by the sheer
handsomeness of the volume. Equilibris is clearly a serious professional
house."
Dr. J.R. Hammond, President of The H.G. Wells Society: "I am really
impressed with
the book. It is most attractively printed and produced, and is a credit to all concerned."
John S. Partington, editor of Selected Essays on H.G. Wells: "I wish to thank my publisher, Austen Dorresteyn, at Equilibris Publishing for facilitating its rapid publication through his hard work and willing cooperation."
