Reviews
"This is a wonderful edition, setting Wells's text in a number of rich contexts, especially the history of invisibility literature." -- Simon James, Durham University "A marvelously comprehensive edition of an H.G. Wells classic. Editors Nicole Lobdell and Nancee Reeves meticulously reconstruct The Invisible Man from early printed sources, providing readers with both a seamless narrative experience and a fascinating glimpse into Wells's creative process. The carefully curated appendices provide rich literary and scientific context for this complex and sometimes troubling scientific romance, and the concluding filmography demonstrates The Invisible Man's enduring appeal to the popular imagination. Highly recommended for scholars, artists, and students alike." -- Lisa Yaszek, Georgia Institute of Technology

Synopsis
The Invisible Manstands out as possessing one of the most complicated heroes, or perhaps anti-heroes, in literature. A thoroughly unlikeable character, the Invisible Man is defined by his arrogance, impulsiveness, rudeness, and, at times, violence. He is, however, a man of great genius; but, his genius is selfish--no one profits from his experiments, not even himself. The Invisible Manis not only a commentary on imagination and the great spirit of invention that elevated the nineteenth century but also a warning against the eugenic and self-interested policies that threatened the twentieth. This edition includes a valuable collection of the nineteenth-century narratives of invisibility that inspired Wells's novel, as well as excerpts of Wells's nonfiction writings on education and class. Additional appendices situate the novel in its late-Victorian scientific and technological contexts, including material on radio waves and x-rays., H.G. Wells's novel is put in its varied scientific, literary, and political contexts in this new edition.
