Shifting Geological and Literary Lines in H. G. Wells’s The Island of Doctor Moreau and Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim: A Geoliterary Approach by Julie GAY

“…Dai punti di intersezione fra le tre epigrafi citazionali in premessa alle Cinque Leggi, le tre distinte formulazioni della Seconda Legge nei capitoli 2–4 e i dialoghi scenici che la illustrano, e la presenza nel capitolo settimo, dedicato alla Quinta Legge, di una poco nota opera di H.G. Wells, Men like gods, emerge con tutta evidenza come tratto peculiare delle Cinque Leggi una potente visione di futuro, del tutto inascrivibile alla corrente precettistica interpretazione del mainstream. …”
