| "Unless I've got my dates confused, Wells mentions "Heart of Darkness" in this snippet a good three years before it was published! Are we sure he didn't have a time-machine? :)" (Anthony 10/17/2005 7:50:05 AM ) |
| "How else could he have described one so accurately? ;) According to sources elsewhere on the all-knowing Internet, 'Heart of Darkness' was first published in 1899 in serial form in London’s Blackwood’s Magazine. And I keep getting 1899 as the publication date for 'Sleeper.'" (Bill Christensen 10/17/2005 6:17:16 PM ) |
