I was recently listening a podcast from a guy specializing in 19th century fantastic, British literature. At one point he mentions Jules Verne and how he isn’t very well known in the English speaking world.
On the flip side, he talks a lot about H.G. Wells.
Being from a Scandinavian country, it’s the opposite here. Jules Verne is very well known but I barely knew about H.G. Wells before this podcast.
What do you think?
Tbh I’d probably say I know an equal amount about both of them, it’s just barely anything in both cases. I know Jules Verne wrote around the world in 80 days, and H.G. Wells wrote War Of The Worlds but I don’t really know much beyond that for either of them.
