“Like The Island of Doctor Moreau itself, the paratexts that accompany this vital new edition are engrossing, lush, and revelatory.” —Seo Young Chu, CUNY Queens College
This Norton Critical Edition includes:- The 1896 William Heinemann edition of Wells’s novel—a cauldron of scientific ambition, interspecies conflict, and neocolonial violence—with a glossary of nautical, botanical, and geological terms.
- A preface with a note on the text, contextualizing headnotes, and explanatory footnotes by Kimberly W. Benston.
- Eight illustrations, including the 1896 frontispiece and artworks relating to the novel’s context.
- An especially rich selection of contextual materials, topically organized: “Evolution: Theory, Society, Language, and Ethics”; “Race, Cannibalism, and Empire”; “Animality, Science, and the Vivisection Debate”; and “Wells on Evolution, Pain, Extinction, and Animal Mind.”
- Fourteen critical interpretations, from reviews upon publication to current critical scholarship.
- A chronology of Wells’s life and a selected bibliography.
