The Young H.G. Wells by Claire Tomalin
A vivid, tightly focused portrait of a future literary and social radical that traces his rise from provincial, working-class beginnings through apprenticeships, scientific study and early relationships to the first stirrings of his imaginative and political vision; the book examines family dynamics, educational influences, personal ambitions and the practical hardships that shaped his thinking and writing, showing how intellectual curiosity and social grievance combined to propel him into public life.
