Wells with special reference to their concept of life, understanding of human nature, man’s future, and of the novel, the purpose being not only to highligth the differences but also trace the similarities between these two novelists whose ideas as regards many issues seem to clash with each other, and thereby provoke thought on how they may have contributed to the progress of man.
