This is the annotated edition including the rare biographical essay by Edwin E. Slosson called "H. G. Wells - A Major Prophet Of His Time". A novel by this well-known author in an entirely new field. A subtle, delicate, and dainty story dealing with the passion of love. The London Morning Post spoke of it as "a work of genius" while the Daily Telegraph says it " will be considered by many the most fascinating piece of work that Mr. Wells has done." Literature says: "The handful of vivid hum in figures belong to a great extent to the world of South Kensington students, and into that often purposeless and sordid background Mr. Wells weaves the poetry of life and the beauty of human love."

Love and Mr Lewisham is a 1900 novel set in the 1880s by H. G. Wells. It was among his first fictional writings outside the science fiction genre. Wells took considerable pains over the manuscript and said that the writing was an altogether more serious undertaking than I have ever done before. He later included it in a 1933 anthology, Stories of Men and Women in Love. Events in the novel closely resemble events in Wells's own life. According to Geoffrey H. Wells: "referring to the question of autobiography in fiction, H. G. Wells has somewhere made a remark to the effect that it is not so much what one has done that counts, as where one has been, and the truth of that statement is particularly evident in this novel Both Mr Lewisham and Mr Wells were at the age of eighteen, assistant masters at country schools, and that three years later both were commencing their third year at The Normal School of Science, South Kensington, as teachers in training under Thomas Henry Huxley. The account of the school, of the students there and of their social life and interests, may be taken as true descriptions of those things during the period 1883-1886.
