[Y]ou've just read what's not worth reading of Wells: War of the Worlds and suchlike arrant rot — because they're theoryish. Read Kipps, Love and Mr Lewisham, and read, read Tono-Bungay; it is a great book. — D. H. Lawrence, Letter to Blanche Jennings, 8 May 1909, p. 119. [Acabas de leer lo que no vale la pena leer sobre Wells: War of the Worlds y cosas así como "anrant rot" y mdash; porque son teoricos Lee Kipps, Love y Mr Lewisham , y lee, lee Tono-Bungay; Es un gran libro. — D. H. Lawrence, Carta a Blanche Jennings, 8 de mayo de 1909, p. 119. ]
Wells, it seems to me, had greater genius than any other novelist of his time in England.... But ..., for lack of any serious concern for his art, before he was half-way through his career gave up for mankind what was meant for the novel — I cannot help thinking to mankind's ultimate loss. — Walter Allen, p. 314. [Wells, me parece, tenía más genio que cualquier otro novelista de su época en Inglaterra ... Pero ..., a falta de cualquier preocupación seria por su arte, antes de que estuviera a la mitad de su carrera se rindió por humanidad qué se pensó para la novela & mdash; No puedo evitar pensar en la última pérdida de la humanidad. — Walter Allen, p. 314]
