The Invisible Man stands out as possessing one of the most complicated heroes, or perhaps antiheroes, in literature. A thoroughly unlikeable character, the Invisible Man is defined by his arrogance, impulsiveness, rudeness, and, at times, violence. He is, however, a man of great genius but, his genius is selfishno one profits from his experiments, not even himself. The Invisible Man is not only a commentary on imagination and the great spirit of invention that elevated the nineteenth century but also a warning against the eugenic and selfinterested policies that threatened the twentieth.This edition includes a valuable collection of the nineteenthcentury narratives of invisibility that inspired Wellss novel, as well as excerpts of Wellss nonfiction writings on education and class. Additional appendices situate the novel in its lateVictorian scientific and technological contexts, including material on radio waves and xrays.
