  Review Articles: March 1986   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
She was a sister, a confidante, an ego-flattering protégée, a child, a pal; she was everything to him but a lover.
In either case, it is reasonable to assume that in 1892 she was in an extremely insecure state, both economically and emotionally, and that she may have been looking for a surrogate father in Wells (instead of the surrogate son she in fact got).
Moral balance came to be seen not as an approximation of equilibrium between the active and passive qualities within the person, but as the externalized union of two opposites: of the active, aggressive, amoral, male principle, and the yielding, moral, female principle--the union in other words, of the aggressive master and his passive slave.

 Paul Berg - Autobiography
An inspiring high school "teacher", Sophie Wolfe, whose job was to supervise the stockroom that supplied the classes in chemistry, physics and biology, nurtured that ambition.
Sometimes that involved experiments in the small lab she kept but sometimes it meant going to the library to find the answers.

This research foreshadowed his development of an agentic perspective in which people are viewed as self-regulatory and self-reflective organisms, not just reactive ones to environmental influences.
Children watched an adult or peer model bowl and reward himself according to either a high or a low performance standard.
When the children had an opportunity to bowl, those who witnessed a model set a high standard of self-reward adopted a more stringent performance criterion for self-reward than observers who watched a model set a lax standard.

 Books | Mr Polly and his Lover-shadows
Wells was dismayed that absurdities like the laws governing libel and obscenity made it necessary to confine his sexual history, in the Experiment, to various orders of hint.
From a lyrical yearning (see the early chapters of Experiment) it was usefully 'vulgarised and made practical,' he tells us - converted into a resolve to 'get women' - by an encounter with a friend of his youth, Sidney Bowkett, who probably didn't know he was about to be transformed into Chitterlow in Kipps.
Turn to the experiment, and it's seen that the exploration of the sexual theme doesn't add as much as one might have thought.

 Coefficients Club: Window on the High Cabal?
This was clear to the disapproving Bertrand Russell in 1902 and caused him to quit the Coefficients in a huff, informing Grey (not then in office) that his proposals would lead to war and tyranny.
Reade is said to have predicted much of modern science including atomic power and synthetics and advocated an active acceptance of brutal social Darwinist processes which he saw improving the race for the future through current "martyrdom" of individual humans in both the master and subservient races.
Plainly the thesis is that history must now continue to be a string of accidents with an increasingly disastrous trend until a comprehensive faith in the modernized World State, socialistic, cosmopolitan and creative, takes hold of the human imagination.

So let's just call it the end of this chapter of my autobiography And rather than leave it and myself with an unresolved cliff-hanger, I'll expiate the necessary egotism of this experiment in autobiography by closing it with a summary version of a little story written not by me, but by Ray Bradbury.

 H. G. Wells
Although Wells used caustic language about the Christian idea of God in his earlier works, he had an open-minded belief in a "divine will" — perhaps allowing his wishful thinking to posit such an ideal for the good of humanity, as he developed it in his God the Invisible King (1917).
It has littered the beaches of life with churches, cathedrals, shrines and crucifixes, prejudices and intolerances, like the sea urchin and starfish and empty shells and lumps of stinging jelly upon the sands here after a tide.
In a September 1941 speech to the British Association, he spoke of the "dead religions that cumber the world" and said that "a dead religion is like a dead cat — the stiffer and more rotten it is, the better it is as a missile weapon."†

But a large part of the British Navy, ever since the introduction of Sanctions, was in strength in the Mediterranean prepared against any offensive action by Italy, therefore Sir Samuel's appointment appeared to have quite a close connection with Ethiopia and the League of Nations affairs.
Attlee, Leader of the Labour Party, and Sir Archibald Sinclair, Leader of the Liberal Party, insisted that we should not give up the struggle against the aggressor, it was evident that the [British] Cabinet had resolved to surrender and, as a symbol of its decision, Sir Samuel was again given office'.

At the same time, in the nineteen-thirties, as a popular reference book called Wells "a man who made his home in Utopia", Wells presented himself in EXPERIMENT IN AUTOBIOGRAPHY as "a very ordinary brain".
Also, since Wells attacked people by name as abusing womanisers (Hubert Bland, for instance) in his EXPERIMENT, it makes him out to be a hypocrite.
Wells is an author worth studying, but this biography is not written to emphasise his contribution to science fiction.
