Book First Edition
4 vols, cloth, 8vo, 25 cm, liii, 458 + vii, 574 + vii, 563 + vii, 629 pp, a few ills. From the publisher's description: "The first major scholarly collection of the correspondence of H G Wells, one of the most prolific and significant writers of the twentieth century. The collection draws on over 50 archives and libraries throughout the world, many of them newly discovered, including the recently deposited papers of Wells's daughter by Amber Reeves. The edition contains 2,800 letters, fewer than 100 of which have previously been published. Letters currently available in other scholarly editions (such as those to George Bernard Shaw and Arnold Bennett) have been deliberately excluded, except where their inclusion seemed essential. A few of the letters are business letters to publishers, agents and secretaries, but the majority are much more personal. Wells's private correspondence extends from letters to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Prime Ministers Winston Churchill and A J Balfour to persons such as 'Mark Benney', who wrote novels based on his life in the slums and his time in prison. There is rich correspondence too with his many female friends and lovers, among them Rebecca West, Eileen Power, Gertrude Stein, Marie Stopes, Lillah MacCarthy and Dorothy Richardson. . Some of his most powerful letters on the controversies of free love, socialism, birth control, the Fabian Society, and the nature of the curriculum of the new London University in the 1890s are included. Interspersed chronologically is a small selection of about 40 letters to Wells, where letters from him are not extant. Among these are letters from Ray Lankester, Joseph Conrad, C G Jung, Trotsky, Hedy Gatternigg (the woman who attempted suicide in Wells's flat) and J C Smuts." Near Fine.

Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. 4 volumes. pp. (1)xlix., 458 + (2)vii., 574 + (3)vii., 563 + (4)vii., 629. A fine set, issued without jackets. This collection of H G Wells's correspondence draws on over 50 archives and libraries worldwide, including the papers of Wells's daughter by Amber Reeves. The book contains over 2,000 letters, a few are business - to publishers, agents and secretaries - but the majority are more personal. Wells's private correspondence extends from letters to President Franklin Roosevelt, and Prime Ministers Winston Churchill and A J Balfour to persons such as "Mark Benney", who wrote novels based on his life in the slums and his time in prison. There is correspondence too with his many female friends and lovers, among them, Rebecca West, Eileen Power, Gertrude Stein, Marie Stopes, Lilah MacCarthy, and Dorothy Richardson. For example, a letter from Moura Budberg, with whom Wells had a long-standing affair, which announces that she is pregnant by him and about to have an abortion, reveals how an advocate of birth control is himself caught out. Wells also enjoyed correspondence with the press, particularly during the two World Wars, and with various BBC officials and people who worked on his films. Some of his letters on the controversies of free love, socialism, birth control, the Fabian Society, and the nature of the curriculum of the new London University in the 1890s are included. Interspersed chronologically with Wells's letters is a small selection of about forty letters to Wells, where letters from him are not extant. Among these are letters from Ray Lankester, Joseph Conrad, C G Jung, Trotsky, Hedy Gatternigg (the woman who attempted suicide in Wells's flat) and J C Smuts. This is a heavy set and may require additional postage if being shipped outside of Europe. 1851961739 8vo.

First Edition
First edition, first printings. Four Volume Set. Original red cloth, the spines lettered and ruled in gilt to green labels. Issued without dustwrappers. A fine set, bindings square and firm, the contents clean and bright throughout. There is a tiny patch of loss to the gilt lettering (the lower half of the editor's name) to the spine of Vol. I (down to manufacture rather than rubbing). A lovely, sharp example of this important set. As Patrick Parrinder, the consulting editor, writes in the Preface to these four packed volumes, "To his output of 150 books and pamphlets and over 4200 published items we may now add some 2,800 selected letters. The statistics alone are impressive enough, but the letters offer a unique record of the intellectual vitality, the sense of mission, the candour and the personal warmth that Wells sustained throughout his long life." A monumental editorial feat, drawing on more than fifty archives and libraries (including the papers of Wells's daughter), the correspondence is as much a portrait of the age as the author. Wells corresponded with President Roosevelt, Prime Ministers Churchill and Balfour; with friends and lovers including Rebecca West, Eileen Power, Gertrude Stein, Marie Stopes, and Dorothy Richardson; not to speak of correspondence with the press and the BBC. In addition to his own letters there is a selection of letters addressed to Wells (where his own are not extant) including those from Joseph Conrad, Jung, Trotsky, and J.C. Smuts. "David Smith demonstrated his scholarship in his political biography of Wells ('Desperately Mortal', 1986) and deserves the highest praise for the expertise and patience he has brought to this later enterprise not least in deciphering Wells's tiny handwriting. Detailed [.] notes inform a high proportion of the items." (Simon J. James, TLS, May 8, 1998). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
