Description
The question is: ´Have you ever had that moment?´ You might be sitting at your desk, cooking tea
for your kids, driving to work – and suddenly you think ‘Is this it? Is this all there is?’ It is at this
precise moment that we crash land into the life of one Mr. Alfred Polly: draper, dreamer and
general discontent.First published in 1910, H.G. Wells’ "The History of Mr. Polly" traces the backstory
of Mr Polly and just how he got into the ‘Beastly Silly Wheeze’ of his current predicament. At
the age of 37 (the Edwardian version of middle age) Polly is tired of his dead-end job as a draper
and his nagging wife, Miriam. He sits on the edge of bankruptcy and decides the only solution is to
burn down his shop and kill himself. However, things don’t exactly go to plan and Polly is given a
new chance at life. But can he really change?Wells’ novel falls squarely into two sections; Polly’s
past and just how he became an unhappy and unfulfilled married draper, and the path he takes
after burning down his shop. Widely regarded as Wells’ funniest novel, it is also his most
affectionate. In addition, the book bears a strong resemblance to Wells’ own background as a
bored lower class draper yet, unlike Polly, Wells was fortunate enough to be extracted from this
bleak existence by the 1870 Universal Education Act. This government programme offered Wells a
narrow opening into higher education and the professions, saving him from a life of drudgery.
