Book: Ann Veronica
Aug. 14th, 2011 10:34 pmAuthor: HG Wells
Details: First published 1909; Pub Gutenberg e-texts 2006; Gutenberg versions
Verdict: Ann Veronica is an interesting historical piece with strong characterization.
Reasons for reading it: Several people mentioned it at Eastercon as being a sort of proto-feminist classic. I didn't quite realize that it's a purely mimetic book, but none the worse for that.
How it came into my hands: The ever wonderful Project Gutenberg.
