A Moth-Genus Novo is a short story by H.G. Wells. Herbert George "H. G." Wells (21 September 1866 13 August 1946) was an English writer, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing textbooks and rules for war games. Wells is sometimes called "The Father of Science Fiction", as are Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. His most notable science fiction works include The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Invisible Man and The Island of Doctor Moreau. Wells's earliest specialised training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context. He was also from an early date an outspoken socialist, often (but not always, as at the beginning of the First World War) sympathising with pacifist views. His later works became increasingly political and didactic, and he sometimes indicated on official documents that his profession was that of "Journalist." Most of his later novels were not science fiction. Some described lower-middle class life (Kipps; The History of Mr Polly), leading him to be touted as a worthy successor to Charles Dickens, but Wells described a range of social strata and even attempted, in Tono-Bungay (1909), a diagnosis of English society as a whole. Wells's first non-fiction bestseller was Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress Upon Human Life and Thought (1901). When originally serialised in a magazine it was subtitled, "An Experiment in Prophecy", and is considered his most explicitly futuristic work. It offered the immediate political message of the privileged sections of society continuing to bar capable men from other classes from advancement until war would force a need to employ those most able, rather than the traditional upper classes, as leaders. Anticipating what the world would be like in the year 20.

Nancye Stuart was born in Natal, South Africa, in 1871, and spent her childhood both there and in Zululand so she was used to Africa and its people. She led an interesting domestic and social life in her teenage years - much of it involved with the military owing to the many tragic wars going on around them. She was not, however, expecting the very different life she was to lead after her marriage in 1896 when she found herself one of the few women following in the footsteps of the original pioneers who ventured north into the country that was then Southern Rhodesia. She wrote about many of her experiences in diaries and letters which describe in a charmingly modest, matter of fact style, the hazardous journeys in mule-wagons, and the primitive living conditions in which she gave birth to her four children. Although enduring constant bouts of malaria, often during periods of drought and food shortages 'until Mafeking was relieved,' she seldom mentions these or the difficulties of trying to feed and clothe her family. Names of people and places now remembered in school history books - Cecil Rhodes, Baden-Powell, Bishop Colenso, Rorke's Drift, and many others appear casually among the day to day stories. Using many of these diary entries and memories contributed by members of Nancye's family, the author presents a vivid account of the life of this very brave, but very Gentle Pioneer.
