Wellsian Anderson

We can show that Poul Anderson is a Wellsian sf writer just by focusing on The Time Machine:

Time Patrol timecycles are like improved, streamlined and mass-produced Time Machines;

the experience of time travelling is the same for Wells' Time Traveller and for Anderson's mutant time travellers;

time is a Fourth Dimension in The Time Machine and in The Corridors of Time;

there is a dark underside both in The Time Machine and in The Night Face.

For that fourth point, see:

Both Sides Now or: Dark Nights, Long Night And Night Face

- which, despite its title, omits any reference to the Long Night in Anderson's Technic History.

And now it is time to say, "Good night."
