Review:
"This volume offers scholars an excellent overview of Wells's lasting legacy, not only as a writer of fiction, but also as a thinker. philosopher and intellectual influence. ... All of the essays in this volume offer the reader insights into or new perspectives on Wells ... H. G. Wells: Interdisciplinary Essays is a fine collection that reminds us again of Wells's significance as an author. It also highlights the fact that Wells was a prolific author whose influence should not be underestimated, and whose oeuvre contains much that has been neglected and that needs revisiting, even reassessing." - Linda Dryden, The Wellsian, 32 (2009), 61-3. "If you want to sample the most recent work on Wells, this is your best resource. [...] McLean's work is brilliant (see his The Early Fiction of H. G. Wells: Fantasies of Science [2009], based on a stellar PhD thesis), and his knowledge of the breath of Wells's writing is impressive, the introduction leaving this reader wanting more. [...] H. G. Wells: Interdisciplinary Essays is, collectively, an example of sterling scholarship." - Andrew Shail, Victorian Studies, 52:2 (2010), 334-7.
