Abstract

H. G. Wells’s novel, The First Men in the Moon (1901), presents a cogent and sustained challenge to the supremacy of empire, and does so from the standpoint of astronomy and the increasing knowledge of the heavens by the end of the nineteenth century. This planetary moment in early modernist writing signals a critical tradition of planetary consciousness that links astronomical research to critiques of capitalism. This chapter asks how Wells’s proto-modernist aesthetic (often occluded by his popular and romantic strains) co-emerges with a critique of imperialism sharpened by the new time and space scales of the globe(s) that emerge at the turn of the last century, to form a planetary prose.
