Bealby: a Holiday (Annotated)
Original Text with Large Margins for Note Taking and Study
Description:... Bealby is a neglected comic novel by Wells in which he writes most clearly about class and deprivation. The young Bealby rebels against his inevitable life as a servant. Bealby remains incoherent to the end and, despite sowing chaos, is unable to escape his station in life. While the book has Wells' interest in social reform as its major theme it contains a strong note of pessimism that would dominate his later writings.This annotated version is printed in large US Letter format with generous margins for easy note taking. The book includes the full text of the novel with footnotes and additional material on active reading and the history of marginalia.
