Description

H. G. Wells' short story, "Through A Window," is a remarkable example of the use of narrative techniques to explore themes of identity and human agency. The story's protagonist, Walter, is presented with a unique opportunity to confront his own limitations and expand his personal boundaries when he finds himself peering through a window into a world of surrealism and possibility.

Author

H. G. Wells (1866–1946) was born in Bromley, trained in biology under Huxley, and turned that laboratory habit into fiction. The Time Machine sent a Victorian into deep time; The War of the Worlds brought the sky down on the Home Counties. He wrote as if the future were a social problem with monsters attached. The novels argue while they entertain. A draper's son who made scientific romance a public language.
