"The Coming Race is a fascinating novel. Seed's edition of this seminal work is manifestly superior to previous ones and a significant contribution to Lytton studies."

"The Coming Race is a fascinating novel. Seed's edition of this seminal work is manifestly superior to previous ones and a significant contribution to Lytton studies."Toby Widdicombe, professor of English, University of Alaska, Anchorage
"The Coming Race displays Bulwer-Lytton at his bestas a writer, a theorist, and a visionary. To date, other editions of this science fiction classic have lacked the heft of David Seed's offering, thus failing to make the strongest case its historical and cultural importance. David Seed rectifies this failing. Anyone who reads The Coming Race in this edition cannot but emerge with greater respect for Lytton's intellectual and literary achievement."Scott Rice, professor of English, San Jose State University and founder of the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest
