Wholesale Open Heart: Stories & Poetry of Catherine Wells (Beyond

Catherine Wells (1872–1927) was the wife of H.G. Wells and the author of short stories, poems and an unfinished novella, The Open Heart, a haunting study of a woman’s sense of unfulfillment that adds significantly to our knowledge of early 20th-century feminism. Published here for the first time, The Open Heart is brought together with her stories and poems that appeared in The Book of Catherine Wells (1928). Included, too, in this collection are Catherine Wells' highly accomplished tales of forbidden love, of a woman’s subjection to a dominant and possessive husband and of female despair. The Flame Tree Beyond and Within short story collections bring together tales of myth and imagination by modern and contemporary writers, carefully selected by anthologists, and sometimes featuring short stories from a single author. • Pub Date: 2025 • Format: Hardback • Pages: 416 • Size: 7.67(h) x 4.80(w) x 0.98(t) inches • Case Quantity: 24 • ISBN: 9781835622551
