Summary
'The Camford Visitation' is a novel by H. G. Wells first published in 1938. The story centers around a Utopian 'ventriloquist' who subjects human life-and in particular its treatment by the University of Camford-to sympathetic but quite unsparing scrutiny. At its core, it was a warning to the educational world of imminent war and of its lack of action, as well as an exploration of the place of education in society. Contents include: 'Mr Trumber's Experience', 'In the Cramb Meadows', 'Mr Preeders Pigeon-holes', 'The Communist Party is Annoyed in its Turn', 'Congregation Day', and 'The Healing Touch in History'. Includes a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
