Abstract
IF the function of a biographer is to produce a living picture of his subject for his own and future generations, he will not have succeeded in his task unless he himself fades completely in word and in spirit from the pages of his biography. In providing us with this story of the struggles of a great man, Mr. Geoffrey West has done his work well, for as we turn over the pages of this volume and live through the intimate history of Mr. H. G. Wells, the authorship of the work itself drops completely from our ken. This is as it should be, and thus an excellent portrait has been produced. H. G. Wells: a Sketch for a Portrait. Geoffrey West. Pp. 316. (London: Gerald Howe, Ltd., 1930.) 10s. 6d. net.
